Mark and Greg,
Our sincere condolences to you and your families on the passing of your beloved Mother. After a phone conversation with Sylvia Uyehara today, I discovered Ann's obituary via computer and was saddened by the news. We have so many fond memories of living in Bel Air and the friendship we shared with you all. Ann was so welcoming to us as the new neighbors across the street. Our great times together, Ann's support and friendship have never been forgotten. Our thoughts are with you.

On behalf of myself and all the Brinegar siblings, Gertie, Rosemary, Roy, Margaret, Sarah, Suzanne and Gloria we express our deepest sympathy to Ann's family and to brother Dean and his family. It was a shock to learn today that Ann had passed. We had no idea there was anything wrong. Ann and Dean, their Mom and Dad were a big part of our childhood and in later years Gay, Ann & Ed, Dean & Nona attended our Brinegar Family reunions or other get togethers. Ann even participated in our Karaoke singing and had lots of fun. Growing up, on Saturday nights, Ann & Dean would come to our house to play and their parents would sit playing cards with our Mom and Dad. The grown ups had their fun and we had ours. We cherished those family ties and times of sharing stories and memories of growing up. Not knowing there was anything wrong, I had called her and left a message one or two days before she passed. I lost my husband in December 2020 and I wanted Ann to attend his celebration on June 5th. The Brinegar siblings met today to have lunch and Roy shared the sad news. We could not believe it. Our thoughts and our prayers are with all of you. She will be missed. We know that she is in no pain. She is celebrating with Ed and her Mom and Dad and other loved ones who have gone before. God comfort you always knowing the joy and blessing you shared. There is sadness but there is joy because God has wrapped her in his loving arms and took her home. The cherished memories will keep her always in our hearts. God Bless You and give you peace and comfort. Ruthie B. Snyder
