Im writing this with a heavy heart when finding out this sad news! I loved Ann like a mother! I have so many wonderful memories from spending time together at least once a week, sometimes more frequently doing her hair! We have laughed and cried together and I will always cherish those times together! I loved seeing all the pictures! She always had a warm smile. She didnt know a stranger and everyone she met made a new friend! I always loved hearing about her cruises that she and friend Bev LOVED! She will be greatly missed but gave all of us the gift of wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family! Im sad that Im not able to attend her celebration of life,but my prayers will be with all of you!
