Ann , no one could scream my name out of a car like you. I knew it was you every time. I'll never forget the day you came to my rescue when I was a young girl. I tell people to this day about it. The Lord has received a sweet helper in you. You are missed.

Sending my deepest sympathy; Ann will truly be missed by all that knew and loved her. We are all blessed to have had her in our lives---God allowed her to share her beauty, intelligence, love, and talents (she always kept our hair "on-point" and our stomachs full-yes, she could cook!!!) with us and for this we are eternally grateful that Ann blessed us with her presence.

She is now absent from her body but present with her Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.
