My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Ann. Although, i didn't know her on a very personal level I knew enough to know she was a kind soul. I will always remember her and our small yet meaningful talks we shared when we passed each other in the building in which we live.
One conversation in particular I will never forget and it was in the basement while we were both doing laundry. Ann came up to me with such excitement to tell me she married Brandie. The glow in her face while she told me this was undeniable. She was so incredibly happy and proud. Whether one knew Ann and Brandie for 5 years or for 5 minutes, it was enough to know how deep their love was for one another. A love that I admired and i know so many others did as well.
Brandie, this is not by any means going to be easy because a significant part of your world suddenly ended with no warning. Use the love and the strength that you and Ann shared together to help you move forward. Be strong because that is what she would want for you. Talk to her because I know without a doubt in my mind for you she is listening. Brandie, I will keep you in my constant prayers asking God to lesson your pain and give you the strength you need to get through this.
