I am so sorry to hear about Ann passing. Back in the day I loved to visit with her in the back of Mom and Dad's store. We'd drink coffee and sit on the big dog food sacks and trade the latest news around town. She was one of my favorite people! Ann always had a smile for me and brightened many a glum day. I wish you all the peace and comfort that God and time can provide.
