Dear Paul and Angela,

I never met "Auntie Ann" but Rick has shared some cherished memories with me, and she wrote us a card after Uncle Harold's passing that was so conversational and sweet that I got a sense of her warmth across the miles.

We wish you peace as you celebrate her life and cherish her memory.

With care,

Ken Shoener Family
