Ann had a special place in my heart. She was a friend and mother to me while I lived in the Boston area. I still tell the story about the time we had the estate sale @ Uncle Babe's apartment. We got up @ 5:00 am. I was in a panic because we didn't have everything in place & I knew people would be there @ the crack of dawn. Ann not really knowing that time was not on our side, nor had she ever hosted a estate sale, was ready to cook some waffles for breakfast. She was great @ the sale. I will miss her, and I'm sorry that I lost contact with her when I moved. Maybe, one day, she will pay me a special visit in a dream.
