After the devastating and sudden loss of her best friend and soulmate in August of 2011, Ann is working to reinvent herself. Committed to living the life her husband would have wanted her to, she is learning to do things she never had to do before, including maintaining the household and raising two teenagers as a single mother.
Inspired to help people, Ann is focused on the positive with initiatives like:
#kickass2012 – a hashtag and website created by Ann and Karen to celebrate life and create change in a year.

Suddenly in Charge – Ann learned a lot after the death of her husband and created this website to help people get prepared, get organized and make life a little easier.
