I worked with Ann at the Aaron law firm a long time ago. This is devastating news. She was so beautiful, refreshing, intellligent, cheerful and competent. What a smile! May her memory serve as a blessing to all those who were privileged to know her.

Julie, Ann Marie, and Lawler Family,
I was very sad to see you mom's notice in the paper. I know how hard it is to lose your mother, as I did last year. I hope you and your family are doing well. Your mother was a great lady who was fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful, loving family.
Sincerely, Elaine (O'Malley) Conroy

I have many fond memories of Ann that extend back as far as Karnak! She was a very good friend of my sister, Phyllis, and although I feel sure that my presence was more an aggravation (since I was nearer the age of Karen)during those Karnak days,she was a very neat and friendly person. I appreciate her efforts to remain in touch with Phyllis, therefore that kept our family in touch with hers. She will always be missed and remembered.

I remember how excited I was that the couple living across the hallway had a baby girl and would even consider letting me babysit for her. I had no idea at the time that this would be a life long connection to a family that became as much mine as my own. We haven't seen each other often in the past 20+ years, but the close connection has remained. She was such a vibrant part of everyone's life; I know it will be hard for you to imagine life without her.

Your love for her, and hers for you, I hope will in time be the memory that comforts and gets you through the days ahead.

With love,

Patsy
