Ann and the entire Hastings family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Your mother was a person I always enjoyed seeing. During our conversations it was clear how much her children meant to her. I was fortunate to get to know her through working with Ann for several years. I know she was a great cook and stayed so positive always.
