Ann L. Blake

It is hard to believe it has been this many years. I have thought of Signey and Jarrod throughout the years and wondered how they are doing. Thoughts and prayers are with the family of Ann and Dan, especially their children.

It has been a year since you joined our heavenly Father. I think of you daily and continue to pray for your kids and family. I love you. Annie Harmon.

as soon as i get my bussiness venture completed i will keep this on line for ever and i will give money to her two kids for cllege gary holsten

Ann is always in my thoughts, she was my best best friend while going up in Anoka. Every year at the start of school, Ann & I would study the Sear's catalog while Ann picked out her "new" school clothes. Ann's mom did not drive and Ann's father worked too much to drive to the Shopping Malls. This may explain why Ann likes shopping so much. Love you Ann

There is not a day that passes that you do not enter my thoughts, Ann. I miss seeing you outside, riding your bike, saying hello and chatting about things. May God bless you and your family. You are a wonderful woman and always in my heart.

Little Annie Hedin was a playmate of mine for many years growing up in Anoka. Her many friends in our neighborhood spent every day day and night playing outside, biking or going to the Fair. I last saw her just before her twins were born. I am shocked and sorrowed by her loss. I know her family is strong and God's love will carry them through the days ahead. I hope her children will hear the stories of how much fun she was as a child. God Bless Her Family Always!

Dear Ann's Family, Ann was a classmate of mine at the Partner's class last year. She was so wonderful and enjoyed talking about her children and husband. May God be with you all.

Trying to remember the happy times is hard through our sorrow, but we will, as time goes on, be able to draw on those times and it will make us smile. We will miss the smile you always shared, the laughter that came quickly, your unending endurance, perseverance, and forgiveness. Our family will cherish your children and protect them from harm the best we can in your absence. We will miss you, Dear Annie.

I didn't know Ann but i was at the accident, my deepest sympathies go to the children and family of ann. I comforted ann' s sister at the accident scene and i unfortunately never told her my name. I would like to get a hold of her to tell her I'm sorry about her sister.

I SPENT OVER SEVEN YEARS WITH ANN AND I FIRST MET ANN WHEN I WAS RUNNING MARATHONS AND SHE WEN,T WITH ME TO THE HONNOULU MARATHON, AND WHE CAME BACK TO CALIFORINA TO WATCH THE ROSE BOWL PARADE AND ALSO WENT TO THE ROSE BOWL GAME, SHE WORKED FOR A FEW YEARS WITH ME IN THE GOLD AND SILVER BUSSINESS, SHE WAS VERY SMART AND GOOD WITH PEOPLE, I WAS STUNNED BY THE NEWS OF HER DEATH AND WILL ALWAYS HOLD ANNIN MY HEART

I grew up with Ann in Anoka and hadn't seen her for years until she started working at Cub. It was so nice to see her. Always smiling,so cheerful and fun to visit with. I never knew her maiden name and was shocked and deeply saddened when I saw her picture on the news. My thought and prayers go out to her children, family and friends.

With sincere sympathy,

You will be deeply missed by our entire family Aunt Ann. I am so grateful that I was able to share time and thoughts with you at our family gathering this past fall and will have your children forever in my thoughts and prayers.

We met Ann and Dan while members of the Andover Lions. Such wonderful people. May Ann rest in peace. Her children were extremely blessed to have such a wonderful mother. Cherish the memories and remember all the people that love you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. God Bless

Ann you will be missed! Signey & Jarrod were lucky to have such devoted parents. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you @ Elm Creek last Saturday bit my kids did. Samantha saw your photo on tv & she told how you talked to her about the last time we were over and she was feeding carrots to "Peanut" the guinea pig. ;-)
May you be at peace in God's arms and peace be on Signey & Jarrod.

We are shocked to hear of Ann's death. She was such a vibrant, giving person. She handled all of the challenges in her life with such dignity and grace. We will miss her at the sub parties and seeing her friendly face at our local cub. The kids and all of her family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ann-
My friend. I will miss you so much. The days ahead will be tough but so were you. I hope to be as strong, loving and patient as you were. I am so glad that you were in my life. You taught me so much about humility and forgiveness. I promise I will "kill them with kindness" like you taught me. Love you always.

Your be missed tremendously by all your friends at Stable Pathways.

I am so sad to see Ann's face on TV and the sad news of her death. We grew up as backyard neighbors and my heart goes out to her children. I know she lived for them. They will be loved and cared for but their recent losses will be emotional for them. Loves Prayers and thoughts...Norah Clark Wyman

I was at the intersection after the accident happened. My prayers for the peace that surpasseth all understanding are with all who knew and loved Ann. My heart truly goes out to the Blake family at this time.

My deepest sympathies to Ann's children and to the rest of her family during this very difficult time. I lost my husband on January 24th and although we worked different hours and didn't get the chance to get to know each other very well she still took the time to send me a card offering her condolences. What a kind and caring gesture!! My heart breaks for her family and friends. God bless. R.I.P. Ann.

to all the blake family and friends,we all lost a very dear woman and friend, in ann, may she rest in peace, and i pray for strength, and comfort from the Lord above for sig and jarrod and all the family and friends that care for them so much may God reach out his hand and touch each and everyone at this time. love and prayers to each of you.

I just received this news and am so saddened to hear of it. I was lucky to have worked with at for 20 years at ANW. She was so kind and always had nice things to say. Bless her and my deepest sympathies for her family. I will light a candle for Ann.

I had known Dan and Ann which seems like forever. I had first met Dan as a neighbor, then Ann when they first started dating. You couldn't have better friends, both were very devoted parents. My deepest condolences to both families for such a loss. The world need more like Anne Kenny J.

I first met Ann at VBS many years ago. Then we were in a small group bible study together. She is a very loving, caring and gentle woman. We may never understand why the Lord took her home so early, but what we do know is that HE has a plan and HE will be with all of you during this difficult time. Lean on HIM. Remember she will always be with you! God Bless all who are hurting. May you feel HIS presence.

Our sincere condolences to the children and family. We knew Ann from church and my daughter knew Signey very well at Oak View. We will keep everyone in our thoughts & prayers and will help benefit the fund for the children. May you find strength in the difficult days ahead.

Ann and I grew up together in Anoka,and I considered her my best friend while growing up and loved her like a sister. I feel like part of childhood has been taken from me, but I know we will be together again, sharing secrets and laughing. May God's grace be with her children and family. God Bless her siblings, Jim, Tom, Jean, and Judy.

I was fortunate to get to know the Blake family through Miracle League. Dan as a coach, Ann as an involved parent and Jarrod as a player! My deepest sympathy to the family.

i,am shocked and very sad by the passing of ann, why did this happen gary holsten

Although you don't know me, I would like to extend my sincere condolences to your family and all that knew Ann. May you find peace in the wonderful memories that you have of her.

I was fortunate to have experienced Ann's kindness at my children's halloween party. I was alone with 30 plus excited and hungry children, where others might have ran, Ann jumped right in to help and even better to keep me company.
What a blessing for all who were able to have Ann's presence in their lives. A very unforgettable woman with a big heart.
My sympathy and prayers go out to Ann's children and family for the sadness of such a loss.

I have met Jarrod through our church and Miracle League. Our prayers are with the family and especially the children. Please notify all if there is add'l support needed for these two darling children. God bless each of you and I am so very, very sorry for your loss of such a woman as Ann.
