Ann was an inspiration. She always had a positive attitude and would tell you that she was “just fine”. She is probably looking a a card foursome right now.
Funeral is the 14th, not the 24th.
I am so sorry to read about Ann’s death. I played cards with Ann for many many years. She and I were together with a group at the hospital. Ann was a kind and wonderful lady. I will pray and ask God’s blessings for her.
