Mrs. Talbot's warmth, love, and kindness lives on in all of us who were fortunate enough to know her. I knew her in the classroom in the late 70's and early 80's when she was on call as a substitute teacher. She was also the neighbor of one of my best friends growing up and we would sometimes stop by her house to say "hi." Much love, thoughts, and prayers to the Talbot family, Sandra Stahl Redondo Beach, CA

Ann was a teacher all her life, instructing by example how to live with gratitude, joy and appreciation for all that is good, while being honest but never self-indulgent about life's hardships. She made everyone around her feel appreciated and had no idea, in her humility, how treasured she herself was. Ann, we love and miss you, and will do our best to imitate your optimistic embrace of life. Deepest sympathy to all the family.
