ReplyDeleteluv you guys.
We will miss you Ann and your warm, loving smile. I've known Ann over half my life and she has been like a surrogate mom to not only me but to many others. Her intelligence and beautiful free spirit has touched us all. In her own way she has encouraged us to not just live life, but to live life WELL and for that we will always be grateful. We love you Ann!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Ann...I will miss your laughter, the little gifts you would give me at Christmas, the beautiful books you would always want to share,
ReplyDeleteEva Cassidy, Franks Laundry dinner parties, BI events, the mother and daughter walk around spring lake, and not to mention those crazy glasses. Thank you for filling the void when I was missing my family. You are a very special lady and I will miss you. Love always, Susan
I was Ann's neighbor and friend, and in some ways, her protege. She showed me the quiet space of museums, helped me slow down and see the details, whether it was a work of art or a little shop in Heladsburg. Now she is making me think about the mystery, to try to understand this loss. I love you, Ann. It was an honor to observe the constancy and love of your family these past weeks...Karin
ReplyDeleteAnnie was a wonderful, sweet, classy lady. She always enjoyed coming out to Point Reyes and we loved having her and Franco come visit. Franco has lost "His Annie" and her family has lost a loving mother. We have lost a dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. With love, Pete and Dana Valconesi
