I may be a week late but it is still very hard to believe that you are no longer alive. I am so sad you couldn't watch me get older, get married, or become a mother. I know you will always be there in spirit watching over all of us. But I wish we could still have you here with us. Grandma, I will always remember your last hug I felt, smile that I shared, & "I love you" that I heard. I will never forget all the beautiful moments we spent together. You taught me so many things in life. I cannot thank you enough for being patient with me & all of my projects. I still am amazed how without a picture or drawing, you were able to create a design for me from exactly what I envisioned in my head. You are the wisest woman I know. You perfected everything you created, even your family. Grandma thank you. I love you. I'm gonna miss you.

We are thinking of you all today and praying for the Lord's comfort and peace to be in your hearts as this very special woman joins her father in heaven.

We just want the family to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you on this day and the days to come. We know how much George and Laura enjoyed spending time with Anna & John. Laura often spoke of how much Anna loved her garden and to bake and do crafts. We still have the sock monkey she made for our son Louden when he was two. He is now twelve and has passed the beloved sock monkey on to his two year old brother, Tristen. We know Anna will be deeply missed for the love and joy she shared and her generous heart.

Grandma I will always remember how you made me feel part of the family from day 1. I remember my first thanksgiving with everyone at your house, walking into your home and just feeling welcome. The love you gave to everyone was amazing, it showed in everything you did from your hugs to your amazing food you prepared. You always took care of people and made sure they had what they needed. I will miss talking to you about art or seeing the shapes in the clouds and trees. I will cherish the memories we all shared and I am so happy my children got to spend so many wonderful days with you. I am so sad you had to leave but there is no question you live on in your beautiful children, grandchildren and great grand children. Holidays will never be the same but I know we all will have no shortage of wonderful memories of you to share, and so it is not good-bye but so long for now, I know the way you lived your life has made Jesus proud, and I couldn't be more proud to call you Grandma. Goodbye G.G. Love Bill

Gram, you are an amazing woman! I will miss you more than words can say. I am very thankful to God that he gave you to us as our grandmother. You have touched all of our lives so deeply. I can see you in Mom, Aunt Jackie and every one of your grandchildren. We each have become who we are because you have touched our hearts, taught us life lessons, instilled moral values and encouraged us to be all that we could be. I always stop and think, Gram said, "Always have dinner on the table for your husband because he worked all day for you." I'll never forget that and all the times we have shared together. The yard sales, craft shows, Vermont, the crafty gifts and family gatherings. Thank you for being there in every part of my life from my birth to the birth of my children. We will hold you in our hearts forever. I Love you soo much!! Thank you for loving us and all our families. Love forever, Laura

To my friend Jackie and her Family: I am so sorry about the passing of your Mom. She was such a sweet lady with such a beautiful smile. She has such a wonderful family to be proud of. Always remember the happy and special times you all shared with her. She is in a better place now...I loved looking at all of your pictures... All of my love, Jennie

Sorry for your loss, I'm sure she's In a better place right now lookin down on all of you wanting you to be happy.

Grandma, It is so hard to have to say goodbye but at the same time I am grateful you were in my life for 33 years. Growing up we were the luckiest kids in the world because we had YOU as a neighbor. You were always there for us with open arms ready to give, ready to love. You have given us so many memories over the years that I will cherish forever. I will love you always and never ever forget you. I will miss you so much but I know you wouldn't want us to be sad. I will think about you everyday and keep you in my heart forever. I love you Grandma, I love you.

Ann was the first woman I knew who worked full time in addition to raising a family. She was always doing something. It could have been gardening, cooking, sewing, crafting, oil painting, refinishing the hardwood floors or furniture, cutting someone's hair, putting in a new front lawn or just taking all of us neighborhood kids to Lakewood Lake. She was vibrant, fun loving, special and the coolest Mom on the block. Most of all she was Patty and Jackie's Mom. I am so happy to have been included to share in her 80th Birthday Celebration this past June and to have been a part of her life. My deepest sympathies to John, Patty, Jackie and the rest of the family. All my love, Roseann

To Jackie and Family: My heart goes out to you all during this difficult time. I know, just from working with Jackie for years, that Anna was loved very much. She is looking down on you now, and she always will be. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Melissa Michal

so so sorry for your loss Jackie ! just think of all the great times you all had and know that we will all meet again in a much better place!!
