Ann was a sweet and kind person who we enjoyed meeting at Church on Sundays. She will truly be missed but we know she is at peace and with our Lord. Our condolences go out to her husband (Tom), her son, Tom, and his wife Theresa and the rest of the family members. We have this picture taken at Ann's wedding and just wanted to share it.

What a special lady Aunt Midge was to me and to our family! She was such a godly woman and will be dearly missed. Aunt Midge did not have a selfish side to her; she had a very generous heart & loving way about her. She was such a blessing to me and my daughter Kristin. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. With sympathy, Paula Walker

I always felt included by Marjorie. One time, I remember she had a gift set aside for me during a family event at her house, which was thoughtful because I don't think she expected me to be there. A beautiful person, inside and out, I am thankful that I had a chance to meet her.
