What a blessing it was to see Ann last summer after so many years. We picked up right where we left off--"The Big Three" of Balsz Elementary and East High! Ann will always be in my heart! She will be missed by many but never out of our thoughts.

As I reflect on the beautiful memorial service today that celebrated Ann's life I am in awe of how many lives she touched. It was a joy and blessing to have known Ann through Creighton Christian Church and I am grateful for all the experiences we shared.

My Dear Friend, who will make me laugh now and who will keep me entertained at church? I always enjoyed that you were the one who said it like it needed to be said. Straight up with no BS. Rest now and enjoy heaven but keep a seat for me close to you so I can laugh with you for eternity

Gone from too soon, but we celebrate her life and kindness. God gave her to us to learn humor and love and perserverance. Thank you, Ann! (Helen and Kega)

Ann and I shared not only being born in Terre Haute, Indiana but also the moving Casey families who shared so many Thanksgivings together in the sixties. An endless smile, hearty laugh, and positive giving woman . The Lacey family will miss her dearly and remember her with fond memories.

My family met the Comer family 44 years ago when Ann was barely a teenager. She and my sister were very good friends. I'm sure they have reconnected and are singing in the heavenly choir together. I celebrate that Ann is now free of pain!

I will remember hundreds of moments shared with my dear friend, Ann. Fun things, silly things, sweet things. But most of all, I will recall her generosity. When Ann considered you her friend, she made you feel so special. Shining through all the things that made Ann who she was, was a beautiful heart of gold. I was extremely lucky to have had her in my life. There's a huge ache in my heart for the loss of my wonderful friend.

I met Ann through Creighton all through my childhood years she was there for me and helped raise me in the church family. I loved her humor and will always miss her.

I will remember the time when Ann and Rhonda led the Adult Bible Study class at Larkspur Christian Church. I learned so much from them. It has been my privilege to enjoy knowing Ann. Thus, I share in a sense of loss. I praise God for the gift of her life.

I met Ann through Christy and since the first time I met her she made me feel like part of their family. She made me laugh a lot with her dry sarcasm, she will be missed. Thanks for opening up your heart to us Ann, we love you!!!!

Ann was known to many - either through growing up, going to church @ Creighton Christian Church, or through working for the State of Az in Residential services. Ann, Rhonda and I were kind of like the three stooges at times and at other times, a rock for the other to lean on. We worked together and went to church together.
Ann was around for my first marraige and was there as support for my divorce. Once that came through, there was no hesitation to dish out to my ex what he deserved all along. She wasn't mean though. She just communicated with him at his own level - which was hilarious and I can not share that here!
Ann, Rhonda and I sat in church choir together. We harmonized very well together. Sometimes we messed each other up by singing the wrong parts - intentionally or not!
Ann was there for my marraige to Scott. To me, that was special. It would not have been the same without her. In fact, Ann and both Ann and Christy's parents were also there sharing in our joy. Ann watched my children grow up and along with me, was proud of their accomplishments.
She loved to give my father-in-law Henry a hard time about flirting with the girls. He loved it! He would just smile at Ann!
I miss my friend already. She is in God's Kingdom now. I will forever cherish the last 30 or so years of laughter, work, play, church, tears, and celebrations we shared. Love you Annabelle.

My most fondest memories of Ann are when we sang alto next to each other in choir at Creighton Christian Church in Phoenix. As I continue to sing alto, Ann's voice is still nearby. May you rest in peace Ann. Loving memories, Cheryl Cox Pollack

Ann was my supervisor soon after I started with DDD at the old ATPC center on McDowell. I remember her as efficient, fair, and a good role model. Those years with DDD were precious to me, even though I've been retired for 18 years.
