Not sure what to say?

My aunt was one of the most beatiful people I know. From the inside out. She treated me like the daughter she didn't have. I will never forget her kindness or her soft words. My greatest sorrow is felt for J.C. and Jay. Remember that her love for you will always be there.

JC, Jay, Lisa & Jay Paul - We want you to know how very much we love you and always will. You are a part of the legacy that Ann left us. You are a part of her and a part of her life. What a wonderful, loving, caring and giving person Ann was, and what beautiful memories she left for us. Remember as long as we have those memories she will always be with us. She always seemed to know just what to say or do on the darkest of days. What a bright light she was, and what an example she left us....

J.C. I was saddened to learn of Ms. Ann's death. It seems like yesterday that you met Ann that night we decided to go to the Satelite Club. My Prayers are for you J.C. to be able to go on with life and remember the day will come soon enough when you and Ann and yes maybe even I can join you in a better place. Your Roomate, Co-Worker and most of all Friend..Walt

J.C. and Jay and family you are ever in our thoughts and prayers. Will always miss my little sis. With love Edna

A life is defined by the memories which give comfort and warmth to those who share the emptiness of absence.
Ann is her vegetable soup, pots of beans, Liz Taylor eyes, playful giggles, wit, and zest for family.
Ann is a card master, plant maven, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and best of all my friend.
She is the "Queen of Hearts."

just wanted to let you know that you,ann and your family have been in my prayers since the day of your loss.wishing you the best of everything life has to offer j.c.
your friend.
