We were deeply saddened to hear about Dave and Ann's accident, but yet happy they are together in their heavenly home with their Savior. Our heartfelt condolences to Mark, Keara, Cassidy and Debbie. They were the heart of their lives. We have many fond memories of our visits with them and their hospitality and generosity every time we stopped on our way home after spending time with Jack, Jeanie and Carlin in Iowa City and Layne, TC and family in Springfield, IL. We were looking forward to another visit upon our return home in April from our winter in Palm Springs, CA. We will truly miss them!

Mark, Debbie and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of Ann and Dave. My heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers. I have so many fond memories of your parents. Your Mom watched me from time to time when I was a little girl, we sang in the church choir together for years and laughed like crazy. Your father was instrumental in my journey to pursue a career as the first woman cop in Osage! He and I spent countless hours firearm training. I will never forget when he sent me home with a S&W .357 with an 8" barrel and told me to dry fire "shoot" all the people on the commercials on tv! I could barely hold the heavy gun let alone shoot it! The best practice I ever had! :-) I scored in the 99 percentile in firearms training, thanks to your Dad! What a great mentor! They were at every major event in my life and thank you for sharing your parents with me!

Deepest sympathies.

I was so sorry to hear the news. They were great neighbors to the Watson's. Great friends to our family and to Norm & Phyllis. Mom and Ann played bingo and bridge together for years. Dad and Dave played golf and bridge and enjoyed many times together. When the folks were in their declining years both Dave and Ann were there for my folks - always a great comfort. I'm sure the community of Osage is devasted with their loss and my heart goes out to Mark and Debbie.

We will miss so many things about our dear neighbor, we will miss your smile and encouraging words. We will miss your willingness to live life well, sharing kindness. Noah will miss his "Friday nights" at the range, and his "buddy Dave". Wendy will miss their talks and their mutual love for the arts. Our whole family will be praying for healing and peace for the family, we know that Dave and Ann loved you so much.. Our door is open to you....
