We moved into our home 3 days after our first child was born, and Ms. Ann was the only neighbor to welcome us to the neighborhood. Over the years, she has celebrated several holidays and the birth of all 3 of our children with us. She was always the kindest and gentlest soul, and everyone in our home, even our pup, loved her. She’d leave treats for him in the yard, or bring them out for him, and the kids would always ask to ring the doorbell and say hello when we’d go outside. Ms. Ann was a ray of sunshine - the kind of person you just don’t meet everyday. She always had a smile and a kind word to share. We will sorely miss her.
Although my time with Ann was brief, it was deeply meaningful. She greeted me with kindness, a warm smile, and a spirit that radiated happiness. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my stories with her and to listen to the cherished memories she shared with me. Even in that short time, Ann’s presence left a lasting impression, and I feel blessed to have known her.
