Ann was such a good neighbor and dear friend to my Mom over the years. Even when life got busy and they hadn't talked for a while, when they would catch up it was always like they had talked only minutes ago. We Spivey kids have such fun memories of Warren and Ann, you were blessed with great parents. We've all been sharing daily updates with each other on how Ann was doing in the hospital, and were so saddened to hear of her passing. Our Mom's only been gone a month and I don't think we'll ever get used to her not being here -- but I can just imagine Mom there as part of the welcoming committee, clapping her hands together and exclaiming "Why, Ann!!" I like to think that Ann and our mom are enjoying some good conversation over a nice cup of coffee today...



God bless you,

Eda Spivey Price

Susan and family,

I was so priviledged to have met Ann after her husband died. I really got know Ann in the last 2 years. I never saw anyone her age go and do the things she did. She also loved her family more than anything. It was fun to see her at the river with Kenny and Susan. She made me laugh with her witty comments. She was a joy to be around and an inspiration to me. She did so much and stayed so busy that most of us could not even keep up with her (or Susan).

I will miss her so much. Love, Janet Lowry
