Dear Kress family

I learned of Ann's passing from my brother Michael, who still lives in Greendale. I live further away in East Troy, so I always get the latest hometown news. I remember Ann as a sweet lady who always had a kind word for me. She was a good Christian woman with a warm heart; I remember her fondly. It is hard to lose one's Mom, I know because mine is gone too. Words never really seem adequate to express sympathy, but they are all I have. I offer these words of condolence, with my prayers and remembrances. May you find peace and comfort in faith, and may God hold your family in His care.
Sincerely,
Susy(Oestreich)Thompson

Our Blessed Mother has welcomed Ann. Many a Sunday at 4 PM Ann joined us for the Rosary. I remember her enthusiasm and dedication each Sunday at Mt. Carmel Nursing Home. Our Blessed Mother will remember her too. God Bless You, Ann. A ROSARY is coming your way for you and your family members. Our Lady of The ROSARY...Pray For Us.
