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 18th.”
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 18th, 2005.
This is our story.
