I am still stunned and thinking of you, Jerry, the kids and the extended family at this time. She was such a sweet, loving and giving person. Though I may have moved away from Ohio, I still considered her a very dear friend. Hopefully, soon your memories will bring comfort, peace and a smile to your face.

I am sorry to hear of Ann passing at such a young age. She was so wonderful and kind hearted to care so much for my brother-in -law Delbert and help him in so many ways. My sympathy to the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Annie´s family as everyone adjusts to this tragic loss. I always looked up to Ann when spending precious summer vacations in Maine with my fun Zimmerman cousins....and later blessed with meeting Jerry and kids in a wonderful Maine reunion. Sending love to you all.
