Tommy, Cathy and Paul, Ann was a close friend for 34 years. She was a blessing in my life. We laughed and cried together. My heart goes out to you, and pray that God’s grace will comfort you. Love and prayers, Gidget

It is hard to believe that such a loving, vibrant person could be gone so quickly. Ann walked the walk of a strong Christian. She loved her family with her whole heart. She was always so excited with her newest acquisition of a dog. She will be sorely missed. Thinking about her husband, Tommy, and her daughter, Cathy and her collection of family and friends. May God provide them strength and comfort at this difficult time.
Sending love,
Lucy
