Dear Michelle, Billy, Mike and family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of you mom. I always loved Ann very much and remember her and all of you very fondly. I'm sorry I missed the showing however I didn't find out until it was to late. I have lived in Indianapolis for about 25 years now and it's not always easy getting away on short notice.
Ann was/is so beautiful inside and out. I remember last seeing her at the Crackle Barrel in Lafayette right after Vernon Langford's showing. Mom, Dad and I had just come from Vernon's funeral and I had brought up the subject about how I missed Ann and was thinking of her every since I found out she had a stroke. As mom and I were "gabbing" at each other, a lady was holding opened the door to the restaurant. Neither of us were really paying attention because we were chatting and laughing about something.
Just before we passed the lady and little voice came out saying "Sandy!"....we turned around to look and there was Ann!! I was so happy to see her and gave her a hug as well as mom and dad. Mike was there as well.
I just wanted to share that with all of you and assure you that Ann is now with her Jack again in heavenly glory. She will definitedly be missed by all who new her.
Sincerely,
Douglas Jervis

Aunt Mossie was one of a kind. She was so sweet, generous & loving. It was a treat to go on vacation to Indiana to visit her & her wonderful family. She always made sure we had fun, and she just had a way about her that made you feel welcome & loved. Thoughts & prayers to Mike, Bill, Michelle & their families.
