Hi all,
I called and spoke with Ann's husband Tom...and I believe that this is our dear friend Ann that we've all gotten to know through this wonderful MM site... I hope you don't mind me speaking on our behalf, but I also gave him our condolences...from all of us here on the mm.com site. He gave me their home address, so if anyone would like to send a card to Ann's family, please PM me, and I can forward you their address.
I think besides Moira and myself, there may be many of you whose lives have been touched by Ann. She was always there to offer advice, a compliment or ask questions and relay her concerns about something... Sometimes she just wanted to chat and ask me how the weather was here in Hawaii... Our most recent conversations were about sleep apnea tests that we were both preparing for. She did hers first (end of Sept), and as soon as she returned home, she emailed me to let me know how it went and what I could expect. She tried so hard to comfort me and prevent me from worrying too much about the procedure. As her friend Suzanne mentioned, she was a very caring person...and will be deeply missed.
I do pray for her husband Tom and her two young boys...all of whom she expressed great love for.
With much

,
Shan
p.s. Since being diagnosed with MM, the one thing I've truly learned is that "life is too short...." so we must embrace and live each day to its fullest. God Bless You, Ann.
