Ann and Lonnie were the best neighbors that anyone could ever have. We grew up with them and they became like family. We will never forget Ann's holiday decorations and her crafts that kept her busy. When we needed to visit, she could always be found working in the yard or in the kitchen. She was a wonderful person in every aspect who will truly be missed. Our thoughts are with you and your family, Lonnie. Let the memories carry you through this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear of Mrs. Basinger's passing. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet her thru my work at the credit union. She was made aware of my love for crocheting and shared several of her patterns with me. Her gentleness and kindness was so very apparant during those short but delightful encounters.She will be missed by so many. May God be with you all and comfort you.
