“ I lost my best friend, my mentor, my boss, my business partner and most importantly grandmother last night. In a span of 3 hours my heart was shattered. It was unexpected and nothing could’ve prepared our family for this loss. My grandmother, Ann Fotenakes was the most brilliant woman I had the pleasure of knowing. I’m not sure how we will go on but I know she would want us to in full stride. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers while we navigate this. Tell your loved ones how much you appreciate and love them. We are never promised tomorrow.”
