have a personal in memoriam and i'd like to adjourn today's meeting in memory of a dear friend, ann merrill. she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week. was an active parishioner at st. vincent depaul's catholic church, where she was a lecter and a eucharistic minister. she was a graduate of columbia and the school of nursing in mount vernon, new york, and worked as a registered nurse for over 40 years, including the sutter visiting nurses association and the irwin memorial blood bank. i know she'll be sorely missed by her friends and family and those she served in the st. vincent depaul community. she is survived by her husband, her son and her daughter. on a personal note, i have known ann almost my entire life. my family has known her and her family. i grew up with her children, chris and diedre, who were, you know, unabashed supporters during my campaign last year. simply a great family and a true stalwart of our community in district two and st. vincent depaul parish. on a very personal level we will miss her, my family will miss her and i ask that we adjourn today's meeting i
