What a beautiful Soul Ann was. It was always a pleasure to see her smiling Countenance beaming at Church. She will be missed but we know now that Heaven has gained yet another Wonderful Soul.

Heaven has gained another Angel, she flew to God like a dove,
Our friend is now celebrating, with all the Glory and Radiant Love,
Yes, we'll miss our special times with you and remember fondly your Godly Devotion,
But we'll be excited for we know that you have now become one with Gods Beautiful, Heavenly Ocean.
So, friend, we'll tarry on and await the time, when we too can join you in Gods sky,
We'll only say so long for we know for certain that it's truly not a long, Goodbye.
