SPEAKING ENDORSEMENTS
"If ever you have an opportunity to hear Anne Hosansky speak, seize it. Her communication of the trials and triumphs anyone can experience in the aftermath of the death of a loved one is, in a word, powerful. Anne spoke at a meeting of Fortune 500 executives. They were awed and renewed by her presentation, as was I."
-- Betty Beene, Former President, United Way of Tri-State
