the special people in our lives are never really gone...they have a cherished place in our hearts where they will always be with us. Ann and I were very close as sisters,she was my little sister. I know where she is and I know she will be at the "pearly gate " with my family that has gone before me to greet me when the Lord calls me. With all my heart I love you Ann--We will be together soon. your OLDER SISTER MARY ELLEN

I want to express my deep felt sadness for the loss of a lovely lady I was lucky enough to enjoy. I worked at a Center where I met Ann, she was a special lady and i have many good memories of running programs that she would enjoy together with me. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

Neighbors for 30+ years, my heart is filled with loving memories of Ann. Now this heart breaks for your family and the world's loss is heaven's treasure. Ann was so kind and very funny. One story I will never forget is watching her run across the street with a curling iron stuck in her hair asking for my help. Eddie wanted to cut it out of her hair. We laughed so hard we cried. I have a million stories like this that I will cherish forever. Like her motorcycle ride! Til we meet again....
I pray that the love of all those who she touched will comfort your family now in this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ambach Family at this time. Ann was a very special person to us, and always enjoyed her company and conversations. She will be missed by ALL who knew her. May the Lord hold her in the Palm of his hand.

My sincere and heartfelt sympathies to Eddie and all of the Ambach family. I met and worked with Ann at United Aircraft International "back in the day," and she was then, and always, a delightful person to know and to be with. I had the privilege of "running into Ann" occasionally as her daughter and my daughter-in-law are dear friends. Eddie was in my high school class of 1954, so we would see one another at our Class Reunions and would touch base there. She handled her illness with dignity, never seeking sympathy and always having a sweet smile on her face. Rest in peace, dear Ann!!
