I am very sorry to hear about Ann. I went to grade school with Ann at St. Agnes and will always remember her soft spoken voice and always being friendly. I am thankful that I was able to re-connect with Ann for a short period of time a few months back and I am thankful to have known her and that she is now in a better place.
