Ann and Albert were special friends of ours for many years. I was their pastor at the Church of God back in the late seventies and early eighties. The church being small I was bivocational. Albert was gracious to hire me to work with him in his cement business. They loved us and our daughters and treated us like family. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Prayers for the family.

Oh my, let me think way back in time. I first knew my Aunt Ann as that girl 5 year older than me at church. My Mom & Dad were faithful church attenders and visitors as were Aunt Ann's family. Who would have ever known that 5 yr older girl would marry my Uncle Buue (Albert) just two months after me and my Steve married 1973. God had plans for all of us. If I had a way of asking Aunt Ann to please let my Steve & Uncle Buue know, I'd tell her, ya'all save a spot at the table I'll join you soon
