Ann Watson SCHAFFER

Lisa, I was sad to learn of your mother's passing away; I remember my sister telling me that you were very close to her. I hope we can see each other again some beautiful day in Austin. Take care of yourself and know that a good friend from Weslaco continues to think about you often. Alberto Canales

Dear Lisa, just read about your Mom's passing. So sorry for your loss, but grateful you had her for so many years. It was a beautiful picture of her that you used. Take care.

Dear Lisa, Martha & Family - It brought me great sorrow to learn of the passing of your Mom, "Nana", and my cousin Ann... She was such a delight... I didn't make it to Texas often, but when I did, I tried to visit her when I could and certainly enjoyed our time together whenever we were able to make it happen... I think Jane, Kay, and Ann P. are the last of the first cousins, so we need to appreciate them as much as we can while they are still with us... Our thoughts are with you across the miles & much love, from Marian "Mamie"'s daughter,

Lisa and Martha and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. The time spent with the Schaffer family are tucked away in my happiest memories.

Sincerely

Judy Johnson

Martha and Lisa,

I just heard about the passing of your Mom. I am so sorry for your loss. She was such a beautiful soul and always so kind. She will be missed greatly by all.

Dear Lisa and Martha,
I am so sorry for you loss. Your mother was such a beautiful soul and such a loving wonderful friend to my mother. Today is Saturday and I just read about it in the paper. If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to contact me. Once again I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to all.

Dear Lisa, Martha and Schaffer and Family,

I was saddened to just now learn of Ann's passing. Like your mom, I was one of the founding members of St. John Neumann Catholic Church and over the past 34 years I saw your mom countless times at our church services. In fact, for many of those years we sat in the same sections of the church, so I would see her quite often.

Although quiet and unassuming at mass, your mom always stood in the crowd for her sweet smile, perfect posture and elegant fashion sense, including her beautiful hats which she wore with great style and grace. She actually reminded me of one of my own family members, which caused me to look for her at church. Ann literally exuded warmth and spirituality to all around her.

I will miss seeing her at mass but feel certain she will be looking down on your family and all of us at SJN from Heaven. Please know you are in my prayers during this sad time for your family.

God Bless, August Petersen, founding chairman and member of SJN

Martha and Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear mother. I remember her as being such a sweet, wonderful and gracious lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you two as well as your family during this very difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there is a hope for our love ones lost in death can be reassuring.

So sorry for the families loss, my prayers are with all of ya'll. Linda Callahan
