Dear Cindy and family,I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ann's passing. I was so happy to finally find a quality salon in our area. I was even happier after meeting Ann and have her work with me, we had many talks and her outlook on life was always a positive one. Her family and grandchildren meant the world to her, I know she will be sadly missed. I feel a better person for having known her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I wanted to say how truly sorry I am for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to all of you. Anne did my hair for years at the house in White Caps. She was always and will always be one of my favorite people. (Bill referred me to her after he saw my attempt at coloring my hair my self. I originally met Bill at Blockbuster Video where I worked during college. He politely commented on my new hair color and let me know his wife was a hairdresser and immediately gave me their phone number. I got the message and did call her right away.)

I knew your mom through Salon Sage, and didn't know her well, but a person only had to spend a little time with her to know that she was a very special person. She knew what was important in life. Professionally, she had it all together. As an individual, she was such a bright spot that will be sorely missed. You'll always have her in your hearts, and in your memories. My condolences to your family. May God hold you in His loving arms and see you through this difficult time. In my thoughts and prayers, Wendy Stevens
