Dear Larry,
I am so saddened to hear that Ann died. I had hoped for years that we could get together again but I guess we all got too old. Please come and visit your nieces sometime.
Love

Larry.. Really sorry to hear the news...
Somehow, I lost contact with "you guys" in the last couple of years, and I hate that. Please accept our most sincere condolences.... We'll keep you in our prayers. Nolan

I've always like the following. But, I know that I won't provide much solace....

I Did Not Die
Author: Melinda Sue Pacho

Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Larry, this is Steve Jones from Hollister, California. I'm so sorry to hear of Ann's passing. I had been wondering where she had gone. We use to exchange Emails all the time and she even sent my granddaughter a baby blanket when Chloe was born. She was a very special lady and I loved her dearly...even if it was by long distance. Please remember that Ann was cherished by a lot of people!!
