I was the one who used to come at Christmas and help with the decorations over the fire place. I always looked forward to seeing Ann, she had a way of making you feel good about yourself. I, of course, came from the ‘poor side’ of town, but always felt welcome in her home. I have remembered fondly, Ann and Britt over the years, two of the world’s best. I know you will miss a mother, wife, and most of all friend. You have my deepest condolences on the loss of Ann, she was truly an exceptional lady. And I feel that Ann is getting Heaven ‘straightened up’ for the rest of us!
