Dear Nancy and Mike; Mike, Vicki, Brian, and Family,

I don't even know where or how to begin! Sometimes reality is just almost too harsh to comprehend! I can only say that Ann has been a huge important part of my life since Junior High School. I want you to know that I care much more than I could ever find words to tell you! We had so many good times together.... and I trust that as long as we keep all of the great memories she will always be with us. Ann and I were best friends for the last 55 + years. We have always talked at least once a week and many times every day! I will miss her more than I can convey.

Nancy and Mike, you were Ann's ANGELS right here on Earth these past few months! God Bless You all!

Love, Jim and Judie (Hocott) Thompson or J & J; as Ann knew us. San Clemente, California

Nancy, Family and Friends, I am so sorry to hear that one of our unique family members has been called home. Not sorry for her, but sorry because we will miss her. I, too, knew her from Jr High.

May you find comfort and peace during this time of need.

Ann, you will never be forgotten among our family ranks. We love you and we will miss you. LHS Class of '60.

Dear Nancy and family
I was so sorry to hear about Ann. I know how hard it is to lose a brother or sister.
It was good to see her at our last class reunion!

Dear Family, Ann was a bridesmaid in our wedding, June 18,1966. We were friends since junior high school. In the summer before my freshman year at MSU, I worked at Post's in the accounting department and rode to work everyday with Ann and her mom. We had good times! We kept in contact over the years, and we were so glad to see her at the 45th reunion. She looked wonderful! Please know that we hold all of you in our hearts and prayers and pray God's comfort and blessings on you as you celebrate Ann's life. Love, Bob and Sue (Kneeland) Wade
