In 1997, I accompanied a friend to Florida as a driving companion. We stopped for lunch at Aunt Ann's and she so graciously fixed us a very nice lunch. It was special to have a home touch after a long road trip from Seattle.

Aunt Ann was a very kind and gentle lady, who indisputably loved both God and her family very much. I am certain she is now in heaven, with Uncle Louis, and they are both celebrating their reunion while fondly looking back on those they left behind.
Dear Cousins, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love, Cousin Mary....of the Wyoming Smith's
