Lost Lottie's youngest son in September and I like to think of Ann and Hunter becoming friends. She was beautiful inside and out. Still is.

Although childhood friends, we lost touch until recent years when we began talking on the phone again. She was always upbeat and chided me for not telling her a funny story. My sympathy to her family. She was truly a good friend who loved and was loved.

Although we were both born and reared in Vicksburg, I didn't get to know Ann until we worked together at Blue Williams. She was such a ray of sunshine, even during and through her illness. She was an authentic Southern Belle; I'm sitting here remembering her voice, which was warm and soft with that accent from home -- Vicksburg.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
