Heartfelt condolences to Ann's family. She was exactly for me who is described here. What a joy to see that lovely always warm caring smile in these pictures. The first time I met Ann as a neighbor we were sharing the pool and she invited me as a newcomer to Laguna Vista to come to her church to visit, "for I know you will love it" she said. She was so right. After a bit she also invited me to the choir, again, a shared pleasure. She often rode with me to choir practice and you know how much one learns about another as you are driving somewhere. Every week almost I would get a call saying she had a treat if I would come by, and that included cornbread muffins, the very very best I have ever had, on the Monday before her passing. We spent awhile chatting and laughing and then when I got home and tried the muffins, I started a text to tell her how much we had enjoyed them and to thank her. It was unfortunately one of those texts which was interrupted and only found unsent a few days, too many days, later. I will miss her dearly for only few have as lovely, giving, interesting persona as she.Her steadfast faith was for me reminiscent of my own mother, undoubtedly another reason to love her.
