Celebrating the amazing life of Dr Ann McPherson

The memorial service held for Ann was at Balliol College on Friday 10th June and here is a group of adolescent health group stalwarts: from L-R: Nicola Grey (our Pharmacy lead), Vice Chair Marian Davis, Frances Perrow (our media mogul), Dr Chris Donovan (Founding member) and Chair Jane Roberts.
It was a joyful occasions, apart from the tears, orchestrated by Jon Snow and illuminated by brilliant sunshine and the august surroundings of Balliol hall and grounds.The homilies to Ann and memories of her life conveyed a vivid collage of  a life lived with exuberance and energy.....and when we were all just about bowled over by what  one woman had achieve in her very full life her family brought us back to earth with stories  of the humanity and imperfection of their adored mum and grannie.
I think we all left bouyed up by some of Ann's characteristic joie de vivre and inspired to keep her spirit alive in all we wish to achieve for adolescent health in primary care.
A truly memorable day.

Best wishes

Jane
