I was doing a web search looking for Ann, Alicia, and/or Sandy and came across this obituary. It hurts my heart to learn of Ann's passing. She was always good to me. She saved my life after being bitten by a snake when I was 10. I love you guys and pray you're doing okay.

Casey and Alicia,
Don't know if you remember me but I went to nursing school with you mom. We spent many nights at you grandmother's trailer in Mayflower, studying for our tests. I have been looking for Ann for years. I finally tracked her down, much too late. I loved your mom like a sister and will miss her greatly. Take care. Lowell
