I have been following the messages in the guestbook for Ann. It is heartwarming to me that through this sorrow and grief I recognize names of friends that have been friends through all of these years.
And to Anns family; I can totally empathize, as I lost my wife of over 47 years two weeks before Christmas 2003.
