Ann was our neighbor in Tampa these past ten years. It was both a pleasure and an honor having Ann as our friend. She is dearly missed.

Ann O'Neal Ott and I were friends for many, many years. We first knew each other at the YWCA in Birmingham and I have visited with the Otts in a number of their residence locations. My last email came with her thanks for my birthday card of May 7 and to tell me
she was sorry to miss my call. With
her demise, I feel a part of me is gone and I'm greatly disappointed that I am physically unable, at this particular time, to attend the funeral.
I even visited with her and Len in Leesburg! My thoughts, love and prayers to all the family.

Tyson Martin and I had a wonderful lunch with Ann on Thursday. She laughed because she ate her entire meal which was quite unusual for Ann and now...what would she have for dinner? Who knew she would have the honor of eating dinner at the LORD's table. I am so thankful and blessed to have spent that precious time with Ann. She was truly and wonderful lady and great friend,I will deeply miss.
