I only knew Ann from Jr High and High School. What a lovely, sweet, friendly young woman she was. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all.
I am so very sorry to hear of Ann’s death. She lived a few doors away from me in our youth and we shared the same carpool in high school. She was such a sweet person. I got to visit with Ann about a month ago and am so glad we got to relive some of our childhood memories. It is always so sad to learn of a classmate’s death. Please accept my most sincere sympathy in this tremendous loss for Ann’s entire family.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Ann’s obituary!! What a good time we had showing cats! Ann and Roxanne were my favorite people in the cat club. We didn’t particularly keep in touch, but I have thought of her frequently through the years. My sorrow goes out to her family. I will always remember her fondly.
Tommy and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ann was a very special woman and will be missed by many!

I am proud to have met such a wonderful woman in my lifetime. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren so much. I truly miss her. She never liked me calling her Grandma, and insisted on me calling her Ann. Yet still in my heart, she was and always will be, my Grandmother. My condolences to the family, to everyone who is feeling the grief of this loss.
