I am deeply saddened by the loss of this great lady, my dear Aunt Ann. My deepest sympathies to everyone in our family, especially Uncle Jack. What a great time we've had over the years; so many memories firmly established. I am grateful that our family has remained close over the decades; grateful for the life of this special lady; and so sad that we couldn't congregate to celebrate her life. But we will when the time is right. In the meantime, sending prayers for all the family with love.

It is sad that we have lost a DAR sister. It is difficult during normal times to lose a friend but particularly hard during a crisis like this. I hope the family can be consoled and find some closure by the fact that so many are thinking of you during your time of grief.
