So sorry to hear about Ann"s passing. She was my neighbor and friend. She took piano lessons from me and she was an accomplished pianist. We would play duets and laugh and sing! There was never a dull moment when Ann came for her lesson! I will remember her smile and her love of music. Ann's unique personality always brightened my day. Gloria Swenson
