Ann was my sister, too. I am sad about her passing away, but I know she has moved on to a better place without pain and suffering. I pray she finds peace and comfort with all the others that went before her. Our lives will always be intertwined. Rest in Peace, Ann. Love your little sister, Sharon

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I believe Florence went to our church in Newport News, VA. I knew her then. She came in my office a few times and we sat and talked. Sorry to hear of her passing. May God comfort you at this time.
