MS. ANNE,

SUCH A LOVING WONDERFUL MOM TO ALL SHE ENCOUNTERED. WHEN YOU WALKED IN THE DOORS OF HER HOUSEHOLD YOU INSTANTLY BECAME ONE OF HER CHILDREN. SHE GAVE YOU THE SAME RULES AS SHE GAVE HER CHILDREN.
MS. ANNE WAS SUCH AN UPSCALE PHENOMENAL LADY @ ALL TIMES, SHE WOULD ALWAYS EXPRESS WHAT SHE FELT HOW A LADY SHOULD HANDLE HERSELF AT ALL TIMES.

I WILL FOREVER CHERISH THE MOMENTS I ENCOUNTERED WITH HER, BEGINNING FOR ME @ THE AGE OF 17. JUST LEAVING HOME AND THINKING I KNEW EVERYTHING BUT MS. ANNE GAVE ME A WAKE UP CALL TO LET ME KNOW I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS.

I WILL FOREVER LOVE THE LESSONS SHE TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE. IF ONLY I COULD BE HALF THE STRONG LADY MS. ANNE WAS I HAVE DONE SOMETHING CORRECT IN LIFE!
GLEN, MICHAEL, & KAREN, YOUR MOM WAS AN WONDERFUL ANGEL HERE ON EARTH. SHE IS SPREADING HER WINGS IN HEAVEN NOW WAITING FOR MORE ANGELS TO JOIN HERE.

LOVE & MISS YOU; MS. ANNE

Hey Mom,
It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the Den cutting the rug and singing hymns. We sure do miss you. Don't worry. Michael, Glen and I are keeping each other held up. Oh in just in case you were wondering, we will be glad to see you again. I know that God is taking good care of you. You behave yourself, and we'll come by to see you when God gets ready for us.

Glen, Michael and myself would like to thank each and everyone who has supported us in this time of bereavement. It is very comforting to know that so many people care about her. We will cherish the memories that we hold close to our hearts and to our minds, and believe that one day we will see her again. We will surely miss our mother as she was the rock of our family. No more pain, No more suffering. She is gone home to be with God.

To the Family:

Words can't express the way I feel right now knowing that Ann is no longer here. She was such a warrior and fought her fight til the end. I will miss her tremendously.. The jokes, words of encouragement, and her just being such a well rounded person! She was the "rock" of the family and will never be replaced. I send my sincere condolences to the entire family and pray that GOD strenghthens us all to get through this.

Glen,Karen, and Michael: Job well done is what your mother would tell you all as you were there around the clock taking great care of her. Stand still and know that she and GOD are with you.

I will miss you my Friend....
