Mrs. Baker was my eighth grade teacher at Most Precious Blood, she was truly one in a million. She always said, "you are who your friends are" and that quote is alive today. She had a way of making things make sense and just made you feel so safe and cared for. She taught the importance of finding your passion and living your best life, and really inspired the art/creative side of me. I recall so many times during class where she would mention her kids and husband and just how proud she was of her own life was amazing to be apart of. Mrs. Baker will forever be my favorite teacher of all time, and I am so blessed to have so many amazing memories with her! Forever grateful for such an amazing educator

Ann was such a wonderful neighbor!
She welcomed me as our family was still moving into our dream home!
I can still hear all those kids on the cul de sac playing! What great times!!
If ever I was to go back in time in a time warp.. it would most likely be at that neighborhood!!
Peace to her, and sympathy for Dave, and all your amazing family!
I will keep you in prayers!
