Ann will be missed dearly. She loved to watch our dogs in the front door. I would bring her some sweet treats every so often, she loved eclairs! Whenever I spoke to her we would laugh and she would make my day brighter.

Ann & I spoke on the phone several times a week, we always had a laugh or two along with great conversation. She loved seeing our dogs looking out the front door. The neighborhood is already too lonely without her presence. She was a great friend & neighbor. Ann will be missed dearly.
