We are so saddened by the death of our dear sister-in-law, Ann. All of our family will greatly miss her because she always contributed to our family events with her cooking and time. I will never forget how the many things she did for our mom & dad when they were living. I am deeply saddened for her family, but most especially my brother, Judson, who will feel lost without her. They were married for 40 years. She did so many things for him before she got sick. I'm praying that the Lord with be with him every day to protect and comfort him and also with our family. We will miss you greatly, Ann. Love you, Betty Ann & Dean
