Ann was married to my 1st cousin Harley Reed. I love to talk to her whenever I seen her which has been quite awhile. She was always so kind and she was a sweet lady. Her husband and my husband Rick was always yard selling. She was so friendly with the both of us. It is way to soon to lose both of them so close together. Prayers for Gary and all of their families.
