Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear about Ann. She is a very special 'Angel' as I have told her for years. :) What a wonderful woman to share so much love and friendship over the years with. Ann has brought the love and peace of God into my heart and home. She taught me many life lessons as a woman, friend, wife and mother. I will always be grateful for the wonderful conversations, the laughter and the memories we shared. My heart goes out to all who love her. May peace find it's way into your hearts.

My love to all of you.

Ann was a very special friend.The day i found out i had cancer i headed for church and the 1st person i seen was Ann who greeted me with open arms and let my tears flow all over her shoulder,the whole time she was suffering herself,that was Ann Yarborough.She was a very special lady.I miss her greatly.

Ann was and is an amazing lady. She was a dear friend of mine. We shared great conversations, laughs and a few tears. We were on a mission trip in Germany. After a hard days work, her feet and legs were aching. I offered a foot massage with my lotions and potions. She couldn't imagine my massaging her feet but after insisting I would be honored, she relaxed and that was the ritual for the next few nights we were there! And that was the beginning of some great conversations!! I will...

We will miss Ann so much but celebrating that she is now in heaven with Jesus. What an inspiration she was to everyone who had the blessing of being her friend. We will continue to pray for all of you during this time of sadness.

There are no words to express the wonderful Love and Kindness that you gave me over the years. The sharing of the Emmaus experience will always be something that will leave an impression on my heart. Thank you so much for allow God to use you in my life.
With deepest Sympathy,

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a friend of Ann over 30 years ago and after a few years lost touch as we moved out of state, but I never forgot her or the family through the years. She was a special lady. She and your family were such a blessing to me and my family. I pray you find comfort in knowing she is with Jesus now.

There are no words to say how sorry we are for your loss. Having met Ann thru my nephew Jackson I do know that she was a wonderful Wife, Mother and Grandmommy and will be missed. I can tell you that the pain does not get easier we just know they are not with us except in our hearts and memories. I do know that when you see the face of Jesus you will also see her face.
