Dear Juleigh, Scott and Jerry Beth,
I just wanted you to know how much I loved your mother. She taught me a lot about being a mother and housewife. She did both those things very well. I also appreciated her vocabulary and sense of humor.
Love, Robyn

Scott,Juliegh and Jerry So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom - As we all know, she was a very special and unique person - Because of your mom, I sill use the word "appleplectic"and have added brussel sprouts to my diet(of course, not as often as she did) - Remembering her, I think of the phases "Damn it, Ann" and "Muzzie Bear" both used by your late father(for the longest time, I thought it was "Mugzie Bear") -I know her loss has touched each and eveyone of you - I hope she had a very full and fruitful life - She touched more people than you know - I am glad I knew her.

Ann came into our lives about 10 years ago and had such an impact! We will be forever grateful to your family for allowing us to be a part of your lives and letting us have the honor of spending time with Mame. She was special to me and I will always remember her and love her. Her intelligence, wit and spirit were awesome to observe and absorb. And her laugh will always be echoing in my memories of her.
We love you all and you are in our prayers.

Dear Jerry, Scott, and Juliegh,
When I read the list of dearest friends, I was immediately transported back to "bridge day." All the moms would gather around card tables at one house and play bridge all day. In the summer, they would take a short break to go home and fix lunch for kids. If you had a skinned knee, whomever was "dummy" would swoop you off and take care of you because play stopped for nothing short of dire emergency or dinner-time. What a different time and place.
Ann was everyone's mom. She was a mom to me and a mom to my mother, Mary Stoddard. We all learned a great deal from her expertise, calm demeanor, and lovely, gentle manner. She's left lovely memories and children behind.

It is always difficult when a parent dies, especially a mother. However, I know she is in a better place and can continue to protect you with her love. You will remain in my prayers.

While I only knew Mrs. Fitzek for a short time, I will remember her always. She was a very special lady...so smart, articulate and funny. She could always make me laugh...even when it was obvious that she felt poorly.
She felt blessed to have such a loving and attentive family and I know that she cherished each one of you. After getting a chance to meet many of you, I would have to say I agree.....she was very blessed.
My thoughts are with you all. I will miss her, too.

Juleigh,
We're so very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I will never forget your wonderful parents showing up after one of the big Mayfest storms with chain saw and rakes in hand! "Where do we start?" were the first words out of your mother's mouth!
Please know that Dennis and I will have you and all your family in our thoughts and prayers and hope the wonderful memories will help fill this huge void and painful loss.
Love,
Charlotte & Dennis
