Ann spoke from the heart and her passion and honesty visibly touched every person in the audience.  Months later we still have people telling us what a difference Ann's words made to them.  For Dove Lewis that is priceless.  I wish I could have Ann Schatz on a permanent rotation as a Dove Lewis spokesperson."
