I was utterly shocked and very saddened when I learned today via the Pittsford Sutherland alumni page that Ann had passed away. I had not seen her very much though the years (except running into her in the airport) but we kept in touch mainly thorough our holiday letters, and I always looked forward to her Christmas letter.
Ann was one of my best friends in high school and we got together during vacations after that. We shared many coming-of-age adventures and I count her as a memorable, important part of that time in our lives.
I will remember all of the good times we shared and she will always be in my thoughts. I know how she loved her family and how they will miss her. Deepest sympathies to them.

We are very sad to hear about Ann´s unexpected passing. Our families´ friendship goes back to Turin Tennis Club, when our children were learning to swim and we were enjoying tennis; remembering all the fun parties and club tournaments. Then the GOOSE Club, our off-season social events from volleyball to Road Rallies to Scavenger Hunts!!! Weddings for numerous children - always a good time! And, of course, our annual reunions in Florida - from Naples to Sarasota and sometimes in-between! We have wonderful memories of Ann and her family and hope that they know how much she will be missed by all of us. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family.

I came to know Ann when she was working at TCR. I was new to tennis and she always made me feel welcome and seen. She was a friend to all of the members; such a warm, friendly person. My sincerest condolences to her family and many friends.
