My condolences to your family. I had not seen Ann in many years, but she came to mind tonight so I googled and found her obituary. It is never too late to send a comforting message to family and friends, as we never forget those we love and expectantly look forward to meeting them again in Heaven. Ann was a mentor my first year of teaching when I was placed at Alexander for the afternoon part of kindergarten since my class didn't have the numbers. I was forced to travel between two schools and I had 2 classrooms on 2 different campuses my first year of teaching. Ann was my encourager through that and through my first year of marriage. She shared her wisdom on so many fronts and I always looked up to her. Now when I look up I can see her dancing with the Angels and those she loves in Heaven. May your family look to Jesus during your time of grief and your first holidays without your wife, mother and friend.
Keep Looking Up!

Richard and Kelly,
You have my deepest sympathies. There will never be another Ann Roussell. I know she's dancing and eating party food. She taught me so many things about teaching and enjoying life. I'm going to miss her. She forever touched my life.

Dear Richard & Kelly,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear of Ann passing. Although, I truly believe that she's dancing on the streets of gold with Bryan. I know this must have been a reunion that she longed for. She was an incredible person, mother, friend, grandma to baby Travis and so much more to many people. Your family will always be special to me and always in my heart. I pray that God will hold you all close, comfort you and slowly replace your sadness with wonderful memories. I have so many memories of her laughing and loving on Bryan and I. She sure loved her life! Sending my love to all of you.

Dear Richard and Kelly,
Words can not express my sorrow at your loss. The world was a better place because of Moonie. She had such a special spirit which she shared with everyone. We had so much fun at Prep and Xavier.
God Bless you both,
Love
