Ann was a gifted communicator that spanned all generations. It mattered not your race, religious beliefs, color or wealth; she simply had an aire about her, of authentic and sincere insights into the souls and the good within others. However deeply buried the good might be, she would uncover it. These personal relationships that were forged were so dear and private to her; each one would be fostered through her love of people, genuine caring, and listening without interruption... well, most of the time. As tiny of a gal as she was, she was a Forsythe. With a powerful character and great strength in her convictions, she fought for what she believed. Ann gave love unconditionally to any and all who were real enough to face themselves in the mirror and attempt to tackle their issues head-on with the dawning of each new day, as a marker to being the best person they were capable of being. A truly special lady, none who knew her will ever forget how great Ann could make you feel, always understanding. With Annie, whoever you were or whatever you'd done, it was beside the point unless it was WONDERFUL! She was not tough as some believe she was, but simply Forsythian in her composition. She took all the world had to offer, selecting only the best, and with a cigarette in one hand and scotch in the other, saw only the worthy. A memorial Celebration of Life gathering will be announced shortly.
