So many wonderful memories of Ann. Among them is so poignant when she was the president of our civic association at the time of her beloved Fred's death, she persevered at the next Tuesday night's meeting. At first, unable to speak her usual kind, strong voice. Given a minute (no more) she conducted the meeting thru. We know Ann will be missed by family, friends & neighbors and Heidi and Pixie too! Sorry for all our loss!
