Larry & family,
Ann was a very special lady who I had the good fortune of knowing through Molly. She was always so upbeat and happy, plus she was a wise soul. She was full of love and radiated it to the world. I think she will hold a special post in Heaven. My deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Baker will be truly missed by so many. I will always remember her kindness in sharing her home (even when I had to play with a boy... sorry, Rick!) and saving me from the needles at the doctor's office. She had a heart as big as the heavens to rescue me from my booster shots - always there calm and patient. My mother spoke so very kindly of her while we were in Ohio this summer, constantly counting about how Ann was truly one of the saints on earth. You were fortunate to have shared in the life of such a loving person.

Larry and family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Ann was such a warm and caring person, who we knew from her nursing at Piqua Family Practice, and also -- more importantly -- as a friend of many years. She had a quick wit and smile, and her lovely smile just covered you and made you feel you were the only person in the room. She was so gracious, and beautiful even when she was so sick.
We will miss seeing her, and hope your good memories will soon overtake the feelings of loss.

I remember Ann from many years ago when she and her family lived outside of Fryburg. Her uncle, Father Lawrence Tebbe , was the priest at the Fryburg Catholic Church.
Ann was a real sweetheart as a child. She was kind, friendly, and always very pleasant to be around. She and her brother and sisters were very nice people as kids and as grownups.
She surely was a fine person and will be missed immensely.

My deepest sympathy to her siblings.

I met Ann many years ago. We were both nurses that graduated from Good Sam and became instant friends. I loved her smile and inner beauty that glowed from within her. God surely was blessed with a beautiful angel when she arrived in heaven! My condolences to Larry and family, I know she loved and adored all of you. May God hold her and all of you gently in the palm of his hands.
