So sorry to hear of Ann’s passing. I always called her that. We worked together at the hospital in Harris for a few years, and she was known to always have a smile on her face which was contagious. She was a pleasure to know and I am saddened by her loss.
I am very sorry for your loss. I also know Ann from working @ the hospital. We passed each other in the halls daily and had numerous brief conversations. She always had a smile and kind words. Miss you Ann…This world needs more kind people like you! RIP

Dear Maureen and Kerri, I was so saddened to hear of your Mom’s passing. I’ll never forget when she came to work in Purchasing and I was able to teach her the tools of the trade. I recently came across pictures from when we went to a hospital party. Her smile was infectious and she was always so willing to help others. We bowled on the same league together and we really enjoyed it. She was so proud of the two of you and her face always lit up when she talked about you. May you be comforted by your many memories of her. May she rest in the peace of our risen Lord. Forever her friend~ Maureen

Maureen and Kerri, I can not even begin to express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your mom. I was so very saddened to hear about her passing. I met her last year at the cabins and instantly, I felt as though I had known her for years and knew iwe would have a very special friendship. I know now she had an uncanny ability of making many feel the same way; I knew she was an awesome woman the day I met her. I will miss her very much whenI visit the cabins. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts.
