We have been friends since the 1940's and family since I married your sister in 1948. Our families had many great times and experiences over those many years. Those memories will be remembered and cherished. You will be missed by many.

Today I counted our years of friendship, "best buddies", 80 years, it has been my privilege of being unlikely friends, different in many ways, but always mutual respect and love. Our "Fab-4, sometimes 5" lunches in later years, at their cozy
home on Juno Lake, forcing Don to retreat to the camper for his afternoon nap, due to our raucous chatter and laughter!
I so appreciate my lengthy, special friendship with Ann and Don.
Love to Ann's family

Ann was a good friend of my mother Joan Pauley at Greenleaf, they shared many meals and stories. Ann was a great lady with devoted, caring sons that I was happy to visit with when we were all at Greenleaf at the same time. Ann will be missed by all who knew her at Greenleaf.
