Glenn,

I met your Mom for the first time last year at the Lakeland get together for our class. As you played and sang, your Mom's face was so full of pride and love. We spoke for quite awhile, at the end of our conversation she gave me her address and wanted me to know that she would like me to come and visit the next time I was in Lakeland. Your Mom was truely a kind and loving person. My heart goes out to you and your family, your Father and Ron in this time of loss.

My husband, mother(Alice DuVall) and I met Ann one day shopping at WalMart several years ago and struck up a lasting friendship. We all laughed together and shared stories of our children and grandchildren. After my Mother died, my husband and I would still laugh and share stories with her and she was caring and concerned about me after my mother's death. We will miss her so very much. She was a wonderful Lady.

I worked with Ann at Wal-Mart, she always told me good-night since I worked 3rd shift. Ann would always ask about my daughter that moved to Wi. They would sit in the break room and talk to each other. Ann will be missed very much in a lot of peoples lives.

It has been a blessing in my life to know Miss Ann. We worked together at Walmart 9 years ago. We had many conversations and she always thought my fiance and I reminded her of her and Mike when they were dating. The day I walked down the aisle I carried a borrowed hankerchief that Ann had carried on her wedding day. It was such an honor. She was a true southern woman so full of grace. My life has been forever changed knowing her.

I met Mr & Mrs O'Connor when I moved to Fl in 1988. We had no relatives down here and they treated us just like family. She is the Grandmother that I never had. She was a wonderful lady who taught me so many things in life. She will be missed.

"Miss Ann" was a blessing to my husband and I. We had the priviledge of working with her at Walmart and in fact, she was the matchmaker that got us together. It was an honor to have her in our lives. God bless you! God just needed another "grandma" in Heaven.
