Carol. I didn't know your sister but I know you and what a special person you are. I feel sure she was the same, since sisters share a common bond. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this very sad time.

Anne was a great lady everyone she met loved her and she will really be missed. I have known her most of my life and every time she met people they were always treated in a manner that made them feel the warmth of her personality. My prayers to all of her family for their loss.

Mrs. Sizemore won my heart as my 1st grade teacher. She was a fantastic person inside and out and my life has been greatly enriched by knowing her. As years passed by so quickly, every time I had the great pleasure to see her, she always had a smile, kind words and a snug hug for me. Rest in Peace Mrs. Sizemore, you will be greatly missed!

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ed, Steven and Jill, Carol and Bruce and all the family!
What an awesome life and legacy! My family is among the many, many who can say we were blessed to have enjoyed Ann, with her positive and favorable influence. From the first grade classroom to school life, to community life, to church life and also to the world of square dance and bluegrass. She was such a dynamic personality, and was loved by all young and old.
She is the subject of numerous stories of life experiences, that seem to be told over and over. Those stories will continue, as will her positive influence.
May God bless you and all your family!

Steven, Jill, Ed and family, Many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting your beloved Ann at Estes Elementary. I was a teacher assistant right next door to her. From that first meeting I saw a remarkable woman with a love for her students and co-workers! Ann seemed,(as everyone knew) to have that sense of humor and dry wit. That will be missed by all. May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Our sympathy to Ed and the entire Sizemore family.. I had the pure delight to work alongside Ann while we worked with Title One students. We spent many hours together planning, laughing, and sharing stories. I loved to watch her walk briskly down the hallways with her red wagon. Her smile and laugh will live on in my memories. Heaven has gained a most special angel. She lives on in each member of your family. It is the circle of life.
Prayers of comfort and peace to all,
Carol and Scott Browne
