I worked with Ann at Putnam City HS many years ago. Heard many nice things from a very proud mother about Susie and Bob. Although I haven't seen Ann for many years, she certainly is one of my fond memories from when I worked at PCHS. My thoughts are with Ralph and the family.

We knew Ann for over 57 years. She was the maid of honor at our wedding in August of 1956. We were lucky enough to see her and Ralph a few years ago when they came to Austin, TX for a wedding. She was a wonderful friend and person, and we will miss her dearly. Our hearts go out to Ralph and his family.

It's always difficult to lose a parent, a mother, or a spouse no matter what your age is. May she live in your hearts and in God's loving memory. Know that she is no longer suffering but sleeping peacefully. May the hope of seeing her again help you endure this great pain. John 11:5-44, 5:28,29
