Dear Aunt Ann, When I saw your picture that is is how I remember you happy and smiling and ready to go .Wayne and I enjoyed having you join us on our trips to N.C. and Fl. Wayne especially enjoyed all the goodies you brought along for the trips,I remember the fun we had on our trips to work and the first time I decided to drive there with my great sense of direction on the way home some time later we ended back at work and how we laughed, also the time we missed our bus stop in Milford and had to get of in Bpt. and the talks we had at lunch time about life in general.So I am wishing for you a straight road to Heaven. I will miss you calls and keep the memories. With love Isabel

My heart goes out to everyone in the family. Ann has been a part of my family since I was born. The memories are unforgettable. My mother and Ann spoke on the everyday for years and when my mother (Marge Griffith)passed away Ann was one of the people who stayed in touch with me.She gave me encouragement and strength when things got hard with my husband being so ill. I loved to hear her talk about her wonderful family that she felt so blessed to have. With a tear in my eye I am writing this knowing that heaven is now a better place and that if there are phones Marge is calling Ann right now. I love you Ann and say hi to my mom.
