This saddens our heart to hear the news. Ann was such a genuinely lovely woman!! She watched our two boys and even watched my husband when he was little. I always loved our afternoon chats when I picked up the boys, her wonderful advice and most of all her wit! As neighbors for a short time, we looked after one another from time to time and shared Saturday waves and chats. Even our dog Thomas enjoyed a visit with her several times. She truly was a gem!
Rest in peace dear friend.
Love,
Bryan, Stephannie, Aleck and Tyler Lute
