I am so sorry for your loss. Ann was my boss when I worked for the school system. She took me to many wonderful restaurants when we were at conferences in Atlanta. I never remember her raising her voice or being critical. I know she will be greatly missed.

I was so sad to see in the paper that Ann had died. We worked together in the special education office. Ann cross stitched an Irish blessing for me and I continue to cherish it. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Davidson family.
