It's been more than 15 years ago when my father attended Circle Center, but I will never forget how Ann was such a blessing to me and other caregivers. I rarely missed her weekly family support group meetings. Ann was the best! My deepest sympathy to all who loved her.

That photo of Ann with the big smile is perfect- that's how I'll always remember her. Full of and giving of that joyous Love to all who encountered her...kin and neighbors and friends and co-workers and fellow Christian sisters and brothers in Church. Love, simple yet strong and abiding. What a blessing to have known her.

Ann had a larger than life smile and positive outlook on life. I am grateful to have been able to call her a friend. She reminded me how important it is to live your best life every day. Be grateful for every day. Be present every day. We will miss Ann greatly. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and everyone's life she touched.
