We were strangers knocking on your door on a cold December day in 2015. You welcomed us in & offered us "good" water! We didn't know what great friends we would become. Since that day, we have shared many drinks, delicious food, camaraderie, and friendship. We know God has welcomed you home. We will miss you on The Hill. Ann, we love you and grieve with you.
Friendship,
Sharon, Jerry & Grace
