What a fabulous women. Sweet loving understanding full of wisdom. Loved her cats, loved her husband, adored her sisters. Spoke highly of them always. Missed her son dearly and was a very proud mother of all of his accomplishments. My husband and I were very fortunate to have been part of her beautiful life. We were very sad to hear of her passing. But she is now with the love of her life and free of pain. We love you Ann. RIP from Rick Audrey and the family.

I will miss my Aunt Ann! She was so kind to me and I was happy to be of help to her when she needed it. I'm just so sorry that I couldn't do more when she really needed it. The five Gilliam girls are now one. God's blessings on her family.
