There are no words that can be expressed to ease your sorrow. But we all know Annie is in Heaven,she is probably looking down and smiling at how many people loved her. She was such an inspiration to me. I don't think I ever heard her complain, anytime I would ask how she was, she always said I'm doin ok. My Grandsons will miss her, especially Kole. He always made time to see Annie after Church to tell her he Loved her. He told me he was sorry he didn't get to tell her he Loved her one more time. But I told him I was sure she knew. We feel her loss but God is rejoicing. I hope it will ease your sorrow in some ways to know she was Loved by all. God Bless you all and our prayers will be with you.

In ways big and small, your loved one's life changed our world and left it a better place, and Ann touched too many hearts to ever be forgotten.
May you find comfort in knowing how we share your sadness. Please know, at this difficult time that you are held in so many thoughts and prayers.

I can not make it to the funeral but want you all to know how much I enjoyed listening to Ann and her family when they sang in Church when I was growing up. Now she can sign with the Angles in Heaven and with her Father once more. Our Prayers are with you all.

Dear family & friends,
We are sorry to hear of your loss.May your hearts & sorrows be lifted by the love & memories that you each shared with her.
May the following poem give you solace in your time of sorrow.
Yours truly, John E. & Linda S.Croy
"Loving Solace"
God came & took me by the hand.
He said, "Ann, it's time to fulfill my plan.
I'll take you to a land where there's no suffering, nor pain.
There you'll find rest & peace in my heavenly reign.
No more crosses to bear or toils to dread,
only loving solace, for this is what I promised, this is what I said."
My dear loved ones, I say to you,
" Weep not, refrain from sorrow
for I am here; yesterday, today & tomorrow.
I did not leave you; I have not gone.
I am still right here at home;
at home in your heart where memories lie deep inside.
know that, my dear loved ones, I'm still by your side.
I'll always be a part of you
but God needs me now for deeds anew.
