To the entire Koerperich family,
I am so sad to hear of Ann's passing. Ann was a very special person, very kind, compassionate and caring. She was always kind and carrying to me as was the entire Koerperich family. It was nice to have them right next store to the DWC seminary. It was like a family away from home. I have so many fond memories with Ann, and her sisters. Dear Lord receive the soul of this special angel and present her to God most High. I will be praying and thinking...
