I am sorry for the loss of Ms Ann. She was a very special woman who shared so much wisdom with everyone who had the blessing to come in contact with her. She was one of the principle people who fed me and led me to the Lord. Heaven certainly became sweeter the day Ms. Ann arrived. It is so long for now because we will see you later. May God richly bless all of you who loved her so.
