Our deepest sympathy to Bob and all the Pike families. We have so many great memories of living next door to the Pikes in Minnesota. Pontoon boat rides, great deck conversations, and Ann giving me the encouragement to learn to play tennis are just a few. Ann's gifts of great humor, laughter, and living life to the fullest will be missed.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to the Pike family and all those who were lucky enough to know Ann. She was an incredible person with a warm loving spirit. I will never forget her kindness and the awesome time I had with the Pike family in Puerto Rico...

I was very blessed to get to know Ann during a 12-week period when we held an Alpha Course in her home. She was a vivacious host and a active participant in the activities and services at Good Shepherd Church bonita. I know she is happily serving others now in a place where there is only joy and love and no sorrow or loss. May God continue to bless her soul.
