Mike and family,
Ann was a wonderful person! We will always remember our camping adventures. We always had a good time playing games and eating ice cream! We will never forget the foil wrapped veggies at Loft Mountain. Words can't begin to express our sadness. We want you to know that we are here for you and your family.
