I just learned of Ann's passing last night - I've been so far out of the loop for years now. I am so very sad to hear about this. She was one of a handful of amazing and magnificent women who took the time to listen to a 20-something year-old guy who didn't know up from down. She laughed with me, then she got serious with me, and then she showed me a shining example of how to live. It brings tears of gratitude remembering so many conversations - especially starting at D.O.O.R.S., and then at Yale. I can hear her voice so clearly as I write this. May GOD bless you Ann, and may your memory be eternal. 

Thank-YOU !!!  For YOUR LOVE. I will ALWAYS be Loving YOU back.     ur Leslie xo

My sweet fun loving Ann, from Hillcrest high school and forever more you will be in my heart . You and my Dad, whom you loved and he loved you are singing in heaven together walking on streets of gold with Jesus. See you there honey!
I have loved you a long time

Ann, we lived across the street on University. I knew and cherished your parents. Remember the pennies on the steps. Remember when Johnnie was born. An important and wonderful part of my life. I wish you peace.

God Speed!

Precious Ann...I truly Love you with all of my heart❤ I will see you again. You are with Jesus now. Peace

I last crossed paths with Ann in 1966, but the twinkle in her eyes has never gone away. By the number of admiring posts, it is evident that she discovered why God put her here, and she she succeed in a job well done.

Ann you were missed from the moment you were gone. Prior to your departure I had been thinking of you, I was recalling a time when 
you came to Ethel Daniels.I could hear you approaching from the 
bottom of the stairs talking about 
God and recovery. That's how I'll remember you. On behalf of Jimmy Daniels, Ethel Daniels foundation staff that knew you, and myself your smile and laughter will be missed. May your light shine bright!

My dear sweet Annie,  You were a ray of light in my darkness...Your kindness and love will always remain in my heart.  WCNA will not be the same without my roomie, I hope you realized how special you were and how many peoples lives you touched.  Love and prayers my sweet Angel.  My prayers go out to Dale and to your family....So grateful for your love and laughter!

To Anne, for the past 26 years I have seen you go in so many directions that I was dizzy most of the time, but I realized along the way that there isn't but one direction, and you had it and I didn't. I saw your craziest times and your calmest times, and everything in between. Though it's been a few years since we last talked, I had to sit down when I heard of your passing,, and cried out loud in general public,( not known for that) I am so very grateful for you and your friendship, I miss you so very much and your caring. I remember when we met and your helping me realize how free I was from the pains of life I had acquired over 20 years of the slow suicide. You told me I would be happy again, though I didn't believe you then I did soon afterwards, and have remained mostly since. I know that God has a special place for you, likely in a rocking chair in the cheering section. Safe journey, say hi to the Savior and thanks for letting me have gotten to know you, so I knew the future was good and real... Your Friend,

THANKS FOR SHOWING ME WHERE GOD IS FOUND.THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME LOVE N PEACE SUSIE AND JERRY BROWN

God take care of my new friend ,Ann. She is a very special lady who will be a very bright spot in heaven.

Rest in Peace sweet Ann. You were a light to so many.

I will never forget my first meeting at the old Yale Group and you were there. You were so full of life and your smile just lit up the room. I remembered thinking, "Well, she looks cool. Maybe I should stick around."  Thank you for sharing your light with so many of us!  You are loved beyond measure!!!!!!!

Annie, we had so very many wonderful memories that will be forever etched in my heart. All the hours we spent driving on cross country trips, usually to a convention. We shared some understandings that I may never share with another. I was blessed to have you in my life and get to know many of your family members. Rest in peace girlfriend! You will forever hold a place in my heart. There will never b another you.

Annie was such a special and dear friend to me, and my family, for so many years.  She introduced me to her wonderful Mother, Faye Cordet, and all her family.  We bonded quickly and have enjoyed many fun days and events through the years.  I truly loved Ann and will miss her greatly.   Al, Ashley and I send our heartfelt sympathy to all Ann's loving family and dear friends.  And especially to Dale, Johnny and Cheri.

Ann, my sponsor, my friend, my heart. Thank you for all your unconditional love and support. There is so so much I could say about the wonderful woman that you were. Maybe I'll save it till we meet again.  You will be missed. You were needed elsewhere to share your love just the way you do. RIP sweet lady.

Ann you were an amazing woman and touched so many lives especially mine.

Ann- you made such and impact on my life I do not know where to begin. Your gracious heart gave me hope and a chance to start a new life that I never dreamed I could have. You made me feel connected to life again, using unconditional love as the guiding force. 
My entire family has been blessed beyond words that you are, and always will be, a key part our lives here on earth, and in the next! 
All of my love and gratitude to you and your family.
John and Sherrie, please know that I am just a phone call away if you need anything at all. 972-859-9589    
Love,

My countless memories with Ann span 45 years and she was admired and loved by both myself and my mother every step of the way.  She was definitely a very unique person and funny and exciting and daring.  She inspired me to join our fellowship long ago because I knew if she could do it, I could do it too.  She gave so generously of her time, her wisdom and her love.  She has always had a twinkle in her eye!  She was just one of those larger than life kind of people!  My heart is heavy that she has gone but also so full from   many, many stories both lived and told.  See you on the other side my dear friend!

I will miss your ever big smile and the good times we had -- rest in peace now.

Carolyn Boros
