Momma you are finally at peace, no pain at all. I know you are in a glorious garden surrounded by friends and loved ones and Jesus by your side. I can honestly say I was expecting you to bounce back and come home as you always have, but God had different plans and His plans are always best. I love you dearly and will see you in Heaven. I will make sure that Harper remembers you by passing on your passion for flowers and gardening. She and I will be planting Azeleas in rememberance of you. I Love you always and forever. Your daughter, Karen.....

The things Ann and I have done together, been each other's sounding boards, took trips to the Artists tour together, made dolls together, we even laid sod in her yard together (I thought she was going to kill me she had so much energy!) She was my BEST Friend for over 20-something years... During our friendship she told you just how it is wether you liked it or not! I love you dearly Ann oh Lord how I'm going to miss that lady!

Ann was my companion for almost 59 years. She was a treasure! We were blessed with three wonderful children: as a mother teaching our children, she was tops!
