Reaching out as you’ve all been in my mind and heart, and then I realized that today is a month from Ann’s passing and a month prior to what would have been her 64th birthday. Therefore thought it only fitting to check in and see how you are doing. 

For me my heart continues to be a mix of happiness and heaviness; laughter and some tears every once in a while; and lots of smiles as I hear her sass and see her stylish self ... beautiful and bigger than life. Anyway, wanted you to know you are each in my heart as well and hope you are smiling, laughing, grieving, sharing, and everything else that goes with this rollercoaster of losing someone we love. 

On a practical note, no date yet for a memorial, I actually don’t anticipate anything remotely happening until the new year, but will post here as soon as I know anything. However, in the meantime, do continue to share with each other, lean into your circles for support as needed and just take care of yourself, whatever that means to you these days.

Oh... also... when the memorial happens, we would like to do a memorial board of sorts for our gal, so be collecting those great pics and memories. Perhaps in your circle designate someone as the main collector, and when the time comes I’ll reach out to gather all those beautiful memories of our Ann throughout the wonderful years she chose to spend with us. 

Be well and warm hugs all around.

❤️ Beth
