We went to scool with Ann at Immanuel grade school and Hooper High. I was her maid of honor at her first marriage to Walden Stigge. Ann always had a ready smile. I recently got to see Ann and Scott at Village Inn. So sorry for your loss. We will not be able to come to the funeral today.....John is having health issues. Thinking of you all. Remember Jesus in all your grieving...He is with you.....

Ann was my neighbor - a few doors down the hall from me. She was kind and friendly and always wearing the genuine smile shown in the photo here. Once, she showed me her beautiful Diamond Art. She was a calming influence with her soft spoken way of handling life. I miss her already.
