    Ann, your loving heart will be missed. You were such a passionate woman that forged ahead with plans to make this world a better place for all. I will miss your smile and our wonderful conversations.. my heart chooses to believe that you and Lionel are now together enjoying those heated debates that so defined your relationship.
