I was very sad to hear about the passing of Ann. She was a strong woman who will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire family.
Wanda and family,
So sorry about the passing of your mother. Only meeting her once, I could tell she was “the glue” that held your family together for many years. What a wonderful family she created along with the many treasured memories you all have to keep close to your hearts today and in the future. I hope that those who crossed over before her were standing there together to greet her with a hot cup of coffee and a smile.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

What a great sister-in-law she was to me. I know Uncle Joe was there to greet her.
When we lose someone, I believe they still live through us and give us strength to go on. They are forever a special part of us.
May God hold her in the palm of His hand. With much love,
