To the family of Ann Schneider, I am deeply saddened by Ann's recent passing. Ann and I volunteered together at Peace Hospice in Great Falls, and I always looked forward to seeing her each week. She was so compassionate towards the patients that we cared for at hospice. We also shared a love for hiking in Glacier National Park, and I was always so amazed at her stamina. She was so loving and kind, and accepted everyone she met. She held no judgment against anyone. Her thoughtfulness and kindness will remain with me forever. My heart goes out to all of you. I wish I could have seen her one more time before she passed. You are in my thoughts & prayers, Kathy Meier, Great Falls, MT
