Celebrating the wonderful life of St. Ann! She was such an inspiration to those of us who had the joy of knowing her. I served as her church secretary for 8 years at HPBC.

Thanks be to God for Ann Godsey!

Our prayers are with the family

Dear family,
I remember Ann as such a lady. I know you will dearly miss her but we are all grateful for her long life. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Ann was a blessing to our lives and we will miss her. Love Lynn and Bill Crawford
