Anne would be so proud of her family- how the grandchildren continue to grow into terrific adults and how her children keep her legacy alive in every way they live their lives. Cant ask for more than that out of a life well lived.

Dear Mr. McKernan, Nancy and the entire family -- Mrs. McKernan was truly one of God's gifts - and one with a fantastic sense of humor. Nancy and Meg's friendship spawned a lifelong friendship between our families. All the Connors have been blessed by this friendship. Mrs. McKernan's energy and passion and kindheartedness served as the perfect foil to Mr. McKernan's playfulness. They were such a fun couple to be around and my parents love them both so much - as do we all. We are praying for everybody.

Much Love -- Michael Connors

Tom and Family,
What a pleasure to have met Ann 4 years ago! She was a wonderful friend who loved God and her family. We shared many good times together during the summers in Avalon. I will always remember her infectious laugh and most of all the ability to laugh at herself!
Summer will not be the same without her. Rest in Peace Dear Ann.
