    Although it had been many years since I had seen Ann, she was so sweet when we met again at my stepfather’s funeral several years ago. I have some very fond memories of her and my mother during my high school years and just want to express my sincere sympathy to her entire family.

    Thank you to everyone that has left a message on this site. I know those of you that knew my mom miss her.
    I cannot describe how grateful I have been to be blessed with such a wonderful mom and wish I would have been fortunate to grow much older with her in my life. I know she is always with me in my heart and my mind and I will see her again one day.
