It is with deep sadness to hear of the passing of Ann.
She was one of my co-workers here at the TA and was one of the most wonderful persons that I ever knew.
When she retired, we missed her and she will always be missed and forever in our hearts.

My beautiful Aunt Ann. When I think of her I think of love. She loved me all of my life. She was there for every occasion - large and small. She loved her family honestly, unconditionally, and left us never a doubt. She was intelligent, stylish, active, and very kind. While I wish she were still here with us, I take comfort in knowing that she did it. She lived a lengthy life of faith and goodness. I feel inspired to follow in her footsteps and learn to be as kind as she was. I will always remember her love and her smile and hear her voice when I need guidance. I loved her with all of my heart. May she rest peacefully knowing she was so loved. xoxoxo
