It is with great sadness that I share with you that our beloved Annie Sommers (Mari Ann Sollom) has lost her hard fought battle with ovarian cancer.   In Lieu of services, there will  be a celebration of her life forthcoming.  Please keep Susan and the Sollom family in your thoughts and prayers.  She will be dearly missed.  We will be sending flowers and a card on behalf of our Clear Channel Sarasota Family.

I was saddened to hear of Annie's passings-tho we never crossed paths professionally  I will always remember her work on then Q-96 (WHTQ)

I worked with her at WMMO. She was a consummate professional and a tremendous co-worker.

This is sad news, indeed.

I work with Annie for a number of years and everyday she was upbeat, positive and in a forward moving statae of mind.  Even towards the end she was upbeat and positive.  She lived a good life and fought one hell of a fight...In the TV account that the Sarasota station aired someone mentions Annie going WHOOO before she keyed the mic...how true that was...you can hear her even through the sound proof walls...she truely one of a kind
