Anne's beloved husband Brian, and father of Connie and Eddie, has suddenly died tonight, near their home here in Ellicott City, MD.

Anne is a colleague of mine.  We all rely a lot on her at work.  She is an exceptionally hard-worker, and a very kind person. 

Unsurprisingly, this untimely death is a huge financial hardship for her family, already struggling like so many during the COVID-19 pandemic with loss of work, having had to already downsize from the house they built and loved, and of course with the two beautiful kids to support and educate.   They are, of course, grateful for what they do have - so much compared to those who don't even have a house at all - but they really need our help.

The untimely death of a loved spouse is never of course at a good time, but this was a particularly terrible time for this family. 

Please consider helping with any amount at all!
