It is with great sadness that I write this message in my dear friend's Guestbook. Ann was a true friend to me and I am truly blessed for the relationship I was allowed to build with her. I loved her.
We enjoyed our working days together, our lunches, dinners and long talks on the phone. She may have pulled inspiration from me but I also pulled it from her. Ann was the strongest woman I had ever met. We shared many tears together and enjoyed many laughs.
I know the LORD is welcoming her into his home and that she will be watching over us all. I pray that Carol, Christy and Jeremy pull on her strength and faith today and the days to come. This is a very hard time but know that your mom will be with you everywhere you go. Her spirit will live within you and you should continue your lives to make her proud. She always wanted nothing more than success, happiness and comfort for each of you. Your mother loved you heart and soul.
Lets celebrate that she is free of pain now and is in a place of happiness.
I will truly miss my dear friend.
My Love goes out to Ann, Carol, Christy, Jeremy, her mother and all the extended family. GOD Bless you all and lean on each other during this time. Your mother would be proud to see you standing strong and tall together.
Your Friend,
