Never Forget the Fight
This is Ann's sister writing. With a heavy heart I must tell you the blogs have come to an end. On October 3, 2011, Ann Clarke Dollard was called by God at the age of 47, following a truly courageous and lengthy battle with breast cancer. I hope that through these posts you have gotten to know and love Ann the way I do. A true inspiration, through the end she showed remarkable strength and maintained a sense of humor. Well known for her big ideas and unconventional wit, Ann was a true gift to all who were lucky enough to know her. She was preceded in death by her father, Jerry Clarke. She is survived by her husband of 18 years, Michael Dollard, her beloved daughter Stephanie, age 9, and her mother Mary Clarke of Manassas. She is also survived by her siblings, David Clarke, twin sister Joan Clarke-Beahm, Daniel Clarke, Paul Clarke, Joseph Clarke, Elizabeth Kelso, and Jennifer Layden, 13 nieces and nephews and countless friends. Family will receive friends at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas on Wednesday October 5th from 6-8. Funeral services will be held at All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas, VA on October 6 at 10am. Interment will be at Stonewall Memorial Gardens with a reception to follow at their house in Clifton, VA. Memorial donations can be made to Life With Cancer in Fairfax, VA www.lifewithcancer.org

I'm sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you guys!
Hello,
I have a question about your blog. Please email me!
Thanks,
David
So very, very sorry to hear about Ann. I have been reading her blogs since the beginning. I found her wit and truthfulness and her courage to be something beyond my understanding. Your sister has, I'm sure, been an inspiration to many, many bc survivor's....me, being one of them.
So sorry to hear about Ann. She was a blessing to me when I had BC. She always made me laugh and knew just what to say. I wish I could have done the same for her. She will be remembered with great fondness. Ann was one of the "good ones." My condolences to your family.
Sorry to hear this. I loved reading her blog and I know she will be very missed.
Ann is a very beautiful person inside and out. So very sad to hear this news. I will always remember her Grinch christmas parties every year. My heart goes out to her daughter and family. She will be missed. RIP sweetie!
Just came across this blog. My condolences
Hello, my name is Haley. I have come across this blog in my search for the family of a close friend who is in failing health.
I believe my friend Patricia Saunders (maiden name Boudreau) may be the mother of Ann's siblings, Daniel, Joseph and Paul. If anyone who reads this can help me confirm or refute this hunch, I would greatly appreciate it. I hope to locate Pat's next of kin as soon as possible.
My condolences to Ann's loved ones. Thank you so much for your help.
I have been on blog Sites for a while now and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had HIV for 6 years and I never thought I would ever get a cure. This made it impossible for me to get married to the man I was supposed to get married to even after 2 years of relationship. He broke up with me when he found out I was HIV positive. So I got to know about Dr. Itua on a Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got cured and let her contact details, so I contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give it a try too and use his herbal medicine. That was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 soon and I am grateful to God and thankful to his medicine too.Dr Itua Can Cure all Neuromuscular Diseases,Hiv/Aids,Hsv,Cancers all types with his natural herbal medicines.
