Ann was a strong woman who loved her family, and loved having her family around her. Each holiday, or birthday was an occasion for a big family party. Her sudden death was a shock, and she will be terribly missed.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-54701575441733403262011-04-13T20:47:21.752-07:002011-04-13T20:47:21.752-07:00Hi Nicki,

She was a woman of strong moral beliefs who had taken action to improve the lives of many. I found her inspiring, and fun to be around.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind thoughts.<br /><br />XOBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-72531764247218250892011-04-10T01:56:10.862-07:002011-04-10T01:56:10.862-07:00Dear Barbara, I am sorry to comment here so late, ...Dear Barbara, I am sorry to comment here so late, but unfortunately I missed this post and only now had the time to stroll through your blog again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This portrait is a treasure. Ann's image remains documented for those that loved her in bright, joyous Barbara Muir colour.

So they will miss her terribly. I was happy looking at the photo to see that even though the painting has my style it is an accurate portrayal of Ann, of her appearance and expression. I was filled with memories of our portrait sessions together. And she and Bruce have come out to our shows. I will miss her. <br /><br />Love BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-61060693483592571672011-04-06T21:10:35.925-07:002011-04-06T21:10:35.925-07:00Hi Kim,
