I always called Ann, ANNE. My middle name is Ann also, but come to think of it, the only other person first named Ann was my dear piano teacher Anne Liva. A year has passed with all of it's holidays and birthdays like the blink of an eye. Waiting for time to be no more. Nothing more to rush about. Blessings to all, family an d friends.

I am sorry that I am just seeing this now but I am sending my deepest sympathies on the passing of Ann. Ann and I had lost touch many years ago but we were the best of friends when we were in nursery school and at the JCC camp, from ages 3-8. I would love to reach out to her siblings if they care to connect.

I am pictured with Annie . Rob Plummer is my husband. We first met the Mermelstein´s in Key West in 2001 when they came into our Polish restaurant on Petronia St. What great memories. Wonderful family.

I'm so sad to hear of Ann's passing. I was just thinking about her the other day. When I was setting up my first art studio and gallery in Kingston, PA, way back in 1989, Annie helped me greatly and gave me really good advice about my work. (See photo: Annie, Lonny, Kinley and me in 1991.) She also cooked me several fabulous meals at her home in Bear Creek, and her doors were always open for visitors. She was a person full of life and energy! Sending much love to Annie up in heaven and sincere condolencs to her family.
