I am just at a loss for words. Ann was so full of life and so much fun to be around. Her smile and laugh was contagious and her personality was one of a kind. I loved being her friend and enjoyed every minute I got to spend with her. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew her and loved her. I know we are all feeling the pain of losing her. She will be missed but she will always be in our hearts.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Annie, however, I knew her brother Alan through my son Tim. Tim always thought of this family as his own. Alan was a fine young man. I want to express my condolences to your family for your loss. May the peace and love of God surround your family during this time of grief. Love and God Bless

I am so sorry to hear of Ann's passing. She was my case worker many, many years ago. She is the reason I am here today. She was always caring and supportive and did everything she could for me and my kids. She was always available and went above and beyond for her cases. She will be missed.
