Your Wife and Mother, Ann, will be sorely missed. I did not know her well... But I did know her by the things she did. She married a wonderful man and she raised four exceptional adults who in turn became great parents because of the example set before them. She was a good cook and her house was always spotless. She was compassionate. She cared. She was my Aunt. Those are the things I know and will miss her for.
