I did not know Ann personally. I had emailed her about multiple myeloma. She was so kind and sent me two lengthy emails with wonderful information. I recently re-found her emails and googled her name and saw the obituary. I am so sorry to her family and loved ones. From what I have read about her and her kindness in her emails, Ann was a lovely woman of strength and faith. May her memory be a blessing to her loved ones.
