My Aunt Ann was my Mom's baby sister. She was the only November baby in the family, until me. She called me her Star Sister and always listened to everything I told her as if I was the only person in the room. I gave my oldest daughter her name as a middle name, and my second daughter shared April's middle name. I looked up to her, as she was my idol, for years. I will miss her beautiful smile, her wonderful laugh, her great sense of humor, her tenacity, and her ferocious love for her family, including all us Shields kids! I love you, Aunt Ann, and will carry on with my head held high and with a smile on my face. (So they can wonder what I've been up to.) Valerie Jane
