To all who took care of Ann…Your in my prayers and my heart. And to all of the remaining family; It just took Ann a little while to catch up with Bob we all know how he was and probably still is being busy. Do you think they have tractors in heaven? God Bless You all.

Ann was such a sweet lady that when I was a little girl in 4-H buying my fair project calf from Bob and Ann, I named that calf after her. She will be fondly remembered.
Ann was suce a breath of fresh air and what a wonderful giggle she had. I wish I had known Ann much sooner than I did. Robert was a cousin of my fathers, My sister and I came to her birthday party and really ennjoyed getting to know her.
We have many happy memories of Ann.Her gentle spirit and wonderful laugh will stay with us forever.
