It is with her brother Al's permission that I post this request.  We are a tightknit community and Redford Twp. (whether past or present) comes together when one of our own is in need.  I have seen the amazing spirit and generousity first hand and expect nothing less now.  For all of us who have been touched by her kindness, positivity, and warmth I ask that you consider mitigating this senseless tragedy in the only way we might have available to us---ease the financial burden of her family.  There are unfortunate financial hardships that come with funeral expenses, travel expenses, etc.  If you, like me, ask how can I help....and you are in a position to do so....this is how.  Ann helped those in need always, it would be a beautiful way to honor her to help her family in their time of need.  Please share even if you are unable to help financially, spreading the word IS help as well.  Peace and love to you all.
