I will always remember Ann as a vibrant, strong-hearted woman. She will be greatly missed. Till we meet again." - Zabrina "Ann was a very special lady. I grew to love her very much. I could always depend on her to keep me in line. We formed a very special bond. Ann was very warm and loving and had a wonderful sense of humor. I learned many things from her, and she will always hold a special place in my heart." - June "Ann was a strong-willed, independent woman with an iron inner strength. Never once did I hear her complain. Ann was a wonderful woman and she will be missed."
