For a short time at the end of her career at Landmark Medical Center Ann and I shared an office. Was so fortunate to have such a kind and compassionate coworker. She would share stories about her children and grandchildren. She loved them all dearly. I offer my heartfelt condolences to Ann´s family.

Ann and I were best friends in high school and although we did not often see one and other over the years, that attachment never faltered. I was shocked to hear of her death and offer my heartfelt condolences to her large and loving family of whom she was most proud.

Ann´s smile definitely lit up every room!! RIP, Ann, and continue to watch over your family and smile down upon them. You are here in Spirit always!!
