Dear Ann,

Although we have never met, you and Bill were very special to my parents. Wilbur and Marion Batty, while at South Church. One of your daughters was our house guest when the 'Crusader Team' which she was a part of, shared their message in song at Westminster Presbyterian Church, here in Columbia, TN. I do not recall the year, but it's been in the past 20!! When I saw the last name, I requested that she be our 'guest' while here. What a joyful time we shared...

Dear Ann and Family,
I remember the times together at South Church and the many get-togethers our families had at our house on Arbutus Street. You, Bill and your children were so much a part of our family and I am truly blessed with fond memories of our time together. I am glad we had the opportunity to see you and Bill in 1996 at my fathers service. I know my mother feels the same. My prayers are with you. Love, Jody (Wilcox) Gottier
