I'm going to miss you, my Aunt played a big part of my childhood and teen years. I have plenty of great memories of her.

I lived across the street from the Drostes on Claremont Ave. until we moved in 1942. Ann Macon was probably the oldest child on the block, but she always had time for us younger ones. My sympathy to her family.

To Ann's Family,
I worked with Ann at DOC when we were on Spring Street. We became good friends. She had a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor. Above all, she loved her daughter and her family. She was such a proud mother and she loved being a mother. I am so sorry for your loss.

Our hearts are with you at this time of loss. I didn't know your mother well, but the few times I met her she always had a smile on her face. I know she loved her family and her dogs. Remember that she will always be in your heart. Memories of her will sometimes make you cry, but also make you smile at the most unexpected times. God Bless.
