My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time of sorrow. I had the opportunity to work with Ann for many years. We also enjoyed many many fun times together! She was a wonderful person. God will be with you during this time.

Brad, Jen, and Family:

Please know that Daniel and I are keeping you in our prayers during this hard time. Even though in some ways you might have prepared yourself, I know that even then, the loss of a loved one, can never be prepared for. I only met Lois a few times, but she was such a sweet lady. Even though your hurt is so strong right now, I hope you find comfort in knowing she is in a much better place, looking down upon you now.

The hurt will pass over time, and you will reunited together one day. If your family needs anything, please let us know.

Ann's family,
We will certainly miss her. She is just a lovely lady and loves the Lord. I know the Lord and the angels are rejoicing in heaven with Ann there. We rejoice with them. It is not important for the date of her birth or the date of her passing but the dash in between. Ann's dash was filled with love and compassion, not only for the Lord but for all of us who new her. We will miss her.

But I am very happy and honord to have you Mom as my mother, my best friend and confidont, may I live out the rest of my life in front of my mother, my sons, my family that they will know where my destination is. Momma, I can neaver forgive my self for not being the when you need me most. I pray that you will forgive me. I love you Mom. See you soon...

Nan,
I love you and will miss you. I will treasure the moments we spent together while growing up and trips to Nags head. You have the kindest and lovingest soul. I am glad your pain has ended and you have reached your destination. I will never forget my fond memories of you. While all of our hearts are aching down here, I know you are putting smiles on faces above.
I love you Nan,
