We are sorry for your family's loss. We know that Ann has brightened Heaven. She was one of the nicest people we have ever known. Our family was so fortunate to have met Ann. She was so kind, loving, fun-to-be-with. Initially, she had taken care of my mom after she had a stroke. Ann would joke with her, make her laugh. One day Ann took my mom for a ride in a convertible! We have a picture of the two of them! My mom was 93 when she passed. We needed to control her medicine. She told Ann she needed Ex-Lax so Ann gave her an Ex-Lax wrapper and put Hershey bars inside it. Ann got to know all of us. How neat was that? We had the best times together. Ann and I painted Jenny's (our daughter's) apartment together. We laughed so hard, especially doing the stairs, using a long pole and holding it together. That pole was flying all over the place. Tears were streaming down our faces. We also coaxed Dumpling (Shepherd/fox mix), into rooms. Ann was so wonderful. We would talk for hours, not knowing time had passed. Eat Brazilian beans, bife (fried seasoned steak) and Brazilian rice. We had so much in common, could talk about anything. Ann knew our son, Ciro; Jenny, our daughter; and Jimmy. She met other family members, too; and got to know our pets over the years. They loved her, too. When my mom could no longer live with us. She would go to the home and Ann would see her there, too. Sweet Misti and Ann were with me the day my mom passed. I believe God had a plan that came full circle. Ann took care of my mom and then Jenny (PTA) took care of Ann. There are no words to describe how much she meant to all of us. We miss her and know there are many family members and lucky people who Ann cared for who are celebrating her arrival. We will always remember her being happy, her beautiful smile.
