My Mom and I only had the pleasure of knowing Ann for a short time. However, it only took a moment to embrace Ann's zest for life! She exuded joy and love. Ann was so caring - she placed a welcoming note on my Mom's door when she first moved in to the apartment next door to Ann. They soon became friends. It was a joy for both my Mom and myself to see her lovely smile. Our hearts and prayers are with the family. We know that there is joy mixed with sorrow in your hearts as you embrace the wonderful memories you all have of Ann.
