A life well lived

Only once in a great while do you run across a person who, by their very nature, has a certain ease and grace about them. Ann Elder was that type of person. No matter what storms surrounded her, she was always the person who radiated balance and a sense of purpose in living.  Ann always looked for the best in every situation and asked us to do the same. Some of us, who may tend to move from one crisis to the next, often found solace in spending time near Ann, she seemed to exude a certain calmness.

I will miss you Ann.

Tom,  please know that you are not alone. When people like you and Ann suffer a trauma like this, there are many of your friends and loved ones who weep with you. Both of you have given so much to the world around you. Please know that you are held in high esteem by many whose lives you have touched.

Tom you were lucky to have Ann in your life, and she was lucky to have you.  Hold on to the memories of time together well spent.  Tom, though this will be hard, try to find some type of peace in your soul and be grateful for the time you had with Ann.
