Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We are going to miss Ann. We enjoyed the time we spent with her at East Grove and in later years when we visited her at Sugar Creek Station. She always enjoyed hearing about our travels since she and Andy had been to some of the same places. She always kept up on my husband’s military career. We look forward to the day we will see her again in glory.
