Oh... I am so sad. I really thought she had more time.

I work in a very small, closely-knit office with Ann's daughter, Ellen (who's been out on maternity leave). I knew Ann had been give a terminal diagnosis, but not this fast. Shit.

Wow. This was an unexpected and really sad thing to find on my computer tonight.

Now there's a woman I am very sorry to see go.
