Guestbook

  1. We pray that the Grace of God and the Peace of our Father will comfort your hearts as you mourn the loss of your wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Lord, as you welcome our sister into your kingdom, soften our suffering and let us focus upon the power of her presence rather than the sting of this separation. Bless this family and all who loved her and were loved by her.

  2. Ann was a precious lady. I loved her from the first time we met at our quilt group. It was like I had known her all my life. She had a way of making you feel comfortable and loved. She was such a talented quilter and taught me a lot. The love she had for her family was incredible. She could talk about the grandchildren for hours. Praying for you Jim, and all your family.

  3. Thinking of you Jim, and of the wonderful life you and Ann have had. We will all miss her, but what a blessing she has been.

  4. Sad news travels far. Time and distance never lessened the friendship we shared. I was an unofficial member of her family our freshman year at Centre. That will always be a part of my fondest memories. Joe and I send our love to Jim and the family.
