Dear Chele,
My thoughts are with you as we all mourn the passing of your mother. I will always remember the day I met your Ann, it was December 12, 2009, I was being officially welcomed into DAR San Andreas Lake Chapter, I heard a little voice with an adorable southern accent from the corner table say "Valerie, where in Belmont do you live?" I went over to talk to the lovely lady and a friendship was formed. Turns out we had been living only three blocks away from each other for twenty years. Ann had a warm heart and a kind word for everyone. I admired her strong sense of self and independence. I am glad to have known her and I will miss her.
In friendship,
Valerie Lynne
