Dan: We were so shocked and sadden to here of Ann's death. She was a very special person. I so looked forward to seeing her at BM in Florida. We've had alot of laughs over the years. Her sense of humor was wonderful and we shared many a story with glee. She will be missed by all of us. Sitting around the pool won't be as much fun as it was when she was there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless, Carol & Denis Jodis (Adrian,MI & Indian Shores, FL)

To the Gush/Fisher family, (which includes anyone who knew Ann) Many wonderful memories of "mom" on Jefferson St. Mom would not only make us laugh, but she made us think. She opened her house and heart to any kid that walked through her door. The laughs and love shared will carry on through the many stories she instigated. My heart is there with you Jimmy, Susan (Gusher), Michael, Kathy and Kevin.

To the Gush kids, Dr. Fisher, and Family:
Your Mom, Wife, Grandmother, Aunt, Friend - was a very special woman who always found the silver lining in some dismal places. She always had a kind word, helping hand and a quick wit to put a smile on your face. She was so proud of all her kids and made every effort to keep relationships strong within our family. Even when things were tough she made the extra effort to bring everyone together. I will miss her, as I know all of you will but a little piece of her lives on within all of you - her memory.
My thoughts and prayers are with you cousins......Jimmy, Susan, Michael, Kathy & Kevin.

I have so many memories of Medical One, St Joe's, learning how to be a good nurse, as well as baby and wedding showers for everyone on the team, all orchestrated by Ann. She was a wealth of knowledge, and had a huge heart. My prayers are with you, Dan, and her entire family.

Dear Dan and Family,
Ann was my hero! I learned so much from her. In adversity, her own or someone else's, she had a way of finding a smile to accompany it and lighten the load. She had such a keen degree of sensitivity for others including her husband, family, friends or staff. Children and grandchildren were her special treasures. As student nurses we accumulated many memories and I think it was this shared foundation that bound us like sisters. We will miss this sister beyond words. But I am thankful for the gift of her life and having shared a small part of it.
Love and prayers, Joan

Ann was a very special friend to many, she always had time to hear your problems and offer a shoulder to cry on.
I can remember so many good times when we were all young mothers, baking Xmas cookies, doing each others hair on Friday nites, we didn't have anywhere to go, but we sure looked good.
Dan, the world has lost someone very special, and your grief is shared by many.
I'm so glad that the last time I spoke with Ann, we had a good laugh about my reading the date of the Celene Dion concert wrong. She was looking forward to the sun in Flordia and we planned to see you both soon.
I feel forturate to have known Ann and she truly was "One of a Kind". A good wife, mother and friend.
Sending my warmest sympathy to all the family.
