Bill and I are so sorry to hear about your mom and grandmother's passing. We thought the world of Ann. She is going to be missed. I always loved hearing her stories from another era. She was an interesting woman. The world was a much better place when Ann was in it. Our condolences to all of her family. Love Karen and Bill Kelsey
Your mother was a special person and will be greatly missed by all.
So very sorry to hear of Anne's passing. I'm happy that I had a chance to see her a few months back. I'll always remember her cheerful spirit and wonderful sense of humor.
We send our sincere condolences. I'm sure your Momma is at peace now. It's such a small world, to think that you and my John grew up on the same street. I'm leaving for Seattle tomorrow, but when I get back I'd love to get together with you, Kelly and the gang. Take care sweetie,
God Bless! Lee Ann LaVanchard
