OMG, I wondered why I had not received any responses to my messages to her. I had only spoken to Ann a few times in the last several years, but I have great memories from our days in Atlanta. We moved there together in 1979.
Ann sent me a hand-made, beautiful card when Mom passed last October.
I hope Ann is at peace, and I'm sure she is in a better place. May God bless her.

I grew up next door to Ann from the time we moved to Willowhaven in 1962. She was probably my first friend, and we spent hours together as the only girls on the street our age for years. She went to DA in elementary school while I was at Holt so she was my summer bestie, going to the pool, playing ball on the golf course late, planting sparklers in the sand traps on the 4th of July, building camps in the woods, and waving to each other every Christmas Eve from our bedroom windows. Hadn't seen her in years but we did chat on Facebook on occasion.
Someone please correct her full name at the top, it was Harriet Ann Little and her birthday was April 21st which was the day before I found out she'd passed.
