I can;t really talk about it too much right now, but I just posted the following with The Orange County Register:

Beloved mother and cherished friend Ann Michele Flaherty passed away on Sunday, Nov. 13 at age 57. She is survived by her son Robert Dean Zazueta. Services will be held this saturday, Nov. 19 at 1:30pm at the Blessed Sacrament Episcopalian Church at 1314 N. Angelina Dr. in Placentia. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Michele’s name to the Orangewood Children’s Foundation, the American Diabetes Association and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

I wouldn’t wish this week on anyone.
