Ann Valarie Doan

Melora and Jim,
What a worderful tribute to a very special lady. Ann meant a lot to me and brought sunshine into my life at a time when there were many rain clouds. I will never forget the special things she did to make my world brighter. My sympathy to both of you and God Bless.....

Dear friend, you may be no longer among us but you will always be in my heart. You will be missed. Thank you for your friendship and support over the years.

White birds' feathers fall and the rushing wind sweeps them from the ground.

It lifts them high to kiss the sun and wafts them gently to the cold, surf-bound

Shores of an unknown island where light dims not the everlasting sound.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear daughter, I have cut out and will save the obit you wrote for your Mom. It is amazing. I can feel your loss but with your ability to remember your Mom with such insight, well, you have touched me.

I didn't know Ann but I wish I had. She sounds wonderful.

What a wonderful tribute for such a remarkable woman. Bravo! Melora. Jeanne and Joe Gattuso.

My thoughts are with you all. Ann was truly one-of-a-kind, and I will miss her greatly.

I recently adopted another cat, and because he has some health issues, I initially hesitated. While I was pondering whether or not to take him, I thought of Ann and the care she had given so many animals. Thanks to her loving example, I now have another great cat.

I will always cherish the wonderful visits CP and I have had with Ann and Jim. No one could tell a story better than Ann. During...

I don't know your mother, but want to extend my condolences. Her obit is the most entertaining one I have ever read. She, like you, must have possessed a great sense of humor. I'm sure she will be greatly missed by friends and family.
