I can't believe it has been nine years since Ann transitioned. I often think about her. One memory I have is that her car when she would first start it, there would be a puff of smoke from the exhaust pipe, she would look at me and say that's my "glory cloud", we would just laugh. She was good person with a big heart!!! Continue to RIP, til we meet on them golden streets.

To Ann's Family, She was such a good friend and loving person. We met back in the late 1980's at Carolina Missionary Baptist Church. Then from there we both joined First Baptist Church of Glenarden, became businees partners for a while. We spent time together at Church Conferences, Business Conferences, and sharing many meals together. Ann was always willing to share, give, and speak highly about her faith and Jesus. She was kind and always smiling. Even during our last conversation on 8/23, she assured me that she was ok and whatever God's will was for her she was fine with that. I will miss her great spirit, her smile, and her laugh. She was such a beautiful person. I'm glad a have wonderful memories of her!!!!
