I worked with Ann at LouverDrape many years ago. She was a wonderful person, so warm and so competent. I loved that she would always remind me to take my sweater if I went outside the building on a cold day. Glad to see that she lived a long life. Hope it was happy and healthy. My sympathies for your loss.
