Condolences

  • To the Fife (Dodman) family:
    It is sad news to hear and my condolences go out to her family.
    I worked with Ann at John McGregor for a long time. I often considered her to be as much a friend as a colleague. I always enjoyed her company and conversation.
    She made the job easier, was fun to be around and always demonstrated a devotion to the school and the students.
    My sympathies.
