No Grey Suits                               End of life as a team sport

No Grey Suits is the story of family and friends who pulled together to say goodbye to their mother, wife, daughter, sister, colleague and friend – and in the process found they had created magic.

Foreword

Months later, across steaming tea in a small café, came the right words from a dear friend of Ann’s - “It was magic,” she said.  Confided a favorite aunt, “It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done.  I was sooooo depressed when it was all over.”   From yet another who helped make it all happen, “My life is now defined from March 18^th.” 

And then simply, “You have amazing friends” from an acquaintance not involved in all of this when I told her the story, her jaw slightly agape.   Indeed.  What the heck did we all just do that left such an afterglow?

Well, we said goodbye to a really neat lady.  You know, the real goodbye.  Ann died on March 18^th, 2005. 

This is our story.
