Ann and I were hired within a few months of each other at RNA and we grew together in our positions. She took over and grew the infusion center with RNA, referred to it as her "Baby".
I promise to continue and grow the infusion center in her honor and memory. I will miss you greatly, our talks and friendship. You were one of the best managers I have ever worked under and I look forward to our future meeting. God Bless you dear friend...

Ann was a wonderful Office Manager at RNA.....not just a "boss" but also a friend to many there. I will always remember her kind and generous spirit. Be at peace, Ann. We will miss you dearly.

We knew she was special the day she moved to the land bought from my parents. Though not a one to impose nor visit, nor were we. My mother and I knew she had to be a very special lady. Hard working, and sincere. We never really got to know her, we do know that it was our loss. She worked so hard and we respected her time at time. Mom has been gone for 6 years and I too am ill, but as my dear Mama, no more suffering no pain stress and pain. RIP Ann, I wish we had known you better.

Ann told things like they were, always held her head high, and always remembered to laugh at life. She pushed for me to get hired at the Asthma and Allergy Center back in 2000 and since then has supported me in all of my career and educational goals. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without Ann. I'll never forget the impact she's had on my life. I miss you Ann!

I have had the pleasure of Ann's friendship over the last 11 years with First Citizens Bank. She is a very special lady and always very helpful. I feel very blessed I got to visit with her a few months back & catch up. She will be missed and my thoughts & prayers are with you. Diane

I met Ann in 2006 as she interviewed and came on board at Roanoke Neurological Assoc as their manager. During our time together, she and I had several discussions regarding our faith in our Lord and there is no doubt in my mind today that she is walking those golden streets, no pain, nothing but happiness. How all of her friends and family will miss her! My prayer is that you as her family will have the faith she had and be able to be reunited with her one day.
God bless you and keep you. Eccl. 3-17

When I am dead, my dearest
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
