Memories and Condolences

My heart is heavy today, I have just found out that ann, my next door neighbor in Edinburg passed away. What a loving and giving lady. We had many heartfelt conversations about her life and the then recent death of her husband. We spent days together talking, going out to eat (the outback steakhouse) and a little cafe down the st. I help her with her house work and watched her redesign her home in Texas
She made it so beautiful and inspired me to purchase a trailer house like hers. She never got to see mine. She did not join us in the MonteCristo Rv park this year because of her health.
I will miss her, her kindness's will always be remembered. What a beautiful woman inside and out. Jeanine Johnson

Our condolences to Ann's family. We are close neighbors of her home at Monte Cristo RV, Edinburg, and have missed her presence this year. Have been trying to be assistance to her by forwarding mail, etc. Janice contacted us 3/9 with the sad news, and am assisting any way we can with her home here until we go north late April.

I'm very sorry to hear your mom/grandmother passed away. I always admired her for her willingness to be one of the "neighborhood moms". She certainly earned her angel wings.

Mother your love I'll always know,
your memories will never go,
You will walk beside me every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
