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.
