Hello, Beloved Ones.

We are deeply grieving the sudden loss of our precious Ann. She was just in Los Angeles for almost 2 months to comfort and help her mom during an already trying time as Ann’s dad fell into a coma, being kept alive through machines, yet still able to respond to the voice of his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, by the end of her stay her dad contracted pneumonia from the hospital, and then Ann ended up coming down with pneumonia as well. She flew home to her husband, John, in North Carolina on Monday, June 24th was hospitalized and rendered unconscious on Tuesday, June 25th had failure of the lungs, heart and kidneys on Wednesday, and by Thursday afternoon, June 27th Ann passed away.

We, her community, have been in shock and devastated, especially for Ann’s beloved husband, John and her precious mom. Ann was already in poor health, awaiting doctor’s appointments for herself, yet in the meantime she sacrificed time to be with her husband in order to lend strength and comfort to her mom and be a life-giving and loving voice to her dad. John is truly an amazing husband who supported his wife’s decision and even came out to LA for as long as he could before having to return to work. Together, their dedication and loyalty to their loved ones, family and friends alike, has been a powerful and impacting example of love that endures the distance.

Now, we are reaching out to you to help Ann’s family shoulder the enormous weight of the finances that follow.

If you have any pictures with Ann please send it to me. Ann's mom would love to have them.

Thank you
