I'm speechless, and so very thankful for those of you tonight who have found the right words in replying to Oscar's sad news, as each and everything said tonight is so very, very true.

Dinah and I are in Texas now visiting family in the Houston area. I just opened this and we are both filled with much sorrow.

We will miss her terribly while knowing she is in the best of care with her Lord. - Art Brooks, Arizona Broadcasters Association

Ann was so kind to me from the beginning of my NASBA career. She has been a mentor and a friend. She gave loving guidance and comfort when my niece had cancer. She always asked about my Mom. Ann Arnold meant so much to so many. This is a great loss to all of us - certainly professionally, and absolutely personally. - Sharon Maze Tinsley, Alabama Association of Broadcasters

We are so very sorry...what a legacy she has left....the battle that she has fought & still remaining quite a Lady. How appropriate this Lady who worked so hard for the TAB found time for rest in her office. - Larry & Patricia Gunter

This is so very sad. Ann was a giant among the mortals in our business and in our world. How many times have we all, in some way, tried to do a part of our job, "...like Ann would do it." This is so sad. God has a new and beautiful Angel. - Bill Johnstone, Oregon Association of Broadcasters

It is with the greatest regret that I received today the sad news of Ann's passing. An extraordinary woman, that I personally liked and respect. Please keep me posted on the services as I would like the opportunity to pay my respects to her memory and legacy. - Manuel Abud, Telemundo
