Will always be remembered

Ann's Family

June 16, 2011

Little did we know that morning that God would
call you name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went
with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are
always on our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Brock Family. Ann was a coworker I have known for 15 years. I enjoyed her energy and spirit and all the stories she has told me about her life. She was truly one of a kind and I will miss her dearly. She will continue to live in our hearts.

Amy Brock

She is and always will be missed. She was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother, a hard working, strong and independent individual with a heart of gold. She will always be remembered and loved so much by those of us who knew her. And we, as her children, will hold close all of the strength and love she passed down to us.
