Thank you very much to everyone whom has taken the time to sign this guestbook and or write or email our family. I now live across the country very far away from my family and it's very comforting to see that my mom was able to touch so many peoples lives over the years.
Thank you for your kind words in our family's time of need.

To everyone who has taken the time to sign Ann's guestbook, thank you very much. Ann was truely my soul mate and I feel lost without her. The last few weeks have been a very difficult time for me and my family, but because of people like you, we are making it through. I know I will never be able to fill the hole in my heart, but hopefully as time goes by, the pain won't be as bad. Thank you all so very much.

I was looking forward to meeting Ann at the 2005 Bee. I lost my husband to cancer in 2004 & received a beautiful sympathy card & e-mails from Ann during the hardest time of my life. I was saddened to find out of her passing & my prayers are with her family.

Hi Larry - My name is Kyle Porter. I was a friend of Ann's. We originally met on-line as we both loved Longaberger. I only live 30 minutes from you - Ann and I met for coffee often. We were to meet up at our convention in Ohio and I just couldn't find her... I loved her sense of humor and she loved to share stories of her family. What a wonderful lady. I just found out today of your loss - I am stunned. My heart goes out to all of you. If I can help you in anyway, please email me anytime. I...
