    I was in St. Ann’s grade school with Ann. The twinkle of an artistic talent was in her eye even then. Later in our lives I would see her at various farmers’ markets selling bread, pottery,etc. I was looking at a birdhouse she gave me-she would not let me pay—at one of those markets just yesterday. I did not know she had left us then! Perhaps she was simply with me in spirit!
    Mary, David and Karen please call on me for more shared stories. Love to all, Mary
    Rest in peace, Ann
