Ed, I am so sorry for your loss! Ann was such a sweet person. You know she and I graduated from Searcy together. I always thought of her as a friends, even though we saw very little of each her after high school. Her mother was my supervising teacher when I did my student teaching.
You and your girls will be in my thoughts and prayers in the weeks to come.
I’m so sorry I missed her funeral. I am in Texas with Becky
If I can help you in any way, please call.
In Christ’s love, Jo

Mrs Eason was my kindergarten teacher in1976 at Vilonia. I remember her fondly and the kindness she showed to me as an anxious kindergartener away from her mother for the first time. I was in awe of her beauty. I am so sorry that she suffered with cancer. May Peace, Prayers and Love surround you.
