Her name had been changed and God called her by that name....and Ann answered.  We can go on and on about all that she accomplished,all the places she's been and all the people she's met but the most important thing is that Ann was saved,Ann was put here for a reason,she had a job to do.   All the kind words and all the lives that have been touched and changed by Ann,young and old,I'd say she did her job and did it well.  So the change that Ann has made by being in our lives let's pass that same love to someone else....her legacy will live Nita,TJ,Trici she taught you well,love is all around you.  I love you

Fondly known as Ms Ann she will be greatly missed for her loving and sincere dedication in her music ministry.Faithful servant of the Lord.

Trici I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Just remember she is proud of you and watching over you from heaven.

Ann, 

You were truly an inspiration to everyone. I remember how nice you were when my family came to Rockford for the family reunion. You opened up your home and your heart. I can still remember the song you sung at church that Sunday. Truly inspirational. I'm sad that you're no longer here in the present but glad you're resting in the arms of God and with the rest of the family. I'm praying for my family to have strength during this time.

U are our pass that cared us into our future. Your memories will forever be in our heart. Rest in heaven god's singing angel.

Ms. Ann, thank you for all the private conversations and wonderful laughs at BCBS. May God keep you safe under his wings and provide love and comfort for you friends and family. You will truly be missed. Rest in Paradise sweet Angel!

Family, words cannot remove the sorrow you must be feeling, but please take comfort in knowing how many lives were touched by your Mom.  She wore so many hats- minister of music, events planner, supervisor, choir director, confidant, teacher, and always an outstanding woman of God. We will miss her presence so very much! Peace and blessings....

WELL DONE - mere words can not capture the impact Ms. Ann has made on so many.  May we all find comfort in knowing that she is in loving arms!  Be Blessed...

Aunt Ann, words cannot express the way I feel right now.  I am saddened by you leaving but I know you are gone on to a better place.  I know Mr and Mrs Kline and Jeanette is there waiting for you.  I will always remember the birthday parties for Jesus, the sleep overs, the trips or just the hanging out at your house.  You always opened your door to so many people and treated them like family.  I remember all the little kids that came to your house for piano lessons and you would be doing so many other things but still focused your students.  I never just saw you sitting still and not doing something. You would be sewing, cooking, babysitting, counseling and so much more. You were an intelligent and virtuous woman who place is above rubies and pearls, who have walked in the righteousness of Christ.  Thank you Aunt Ann for all you have done for me.  You are truly missed and was loved by so many.  God picks only the best. Until we meet again, I will hold onto the many memories of the time we shared.  You have earned your wings..Love you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

God take soldiers who march for him and never weary, and Ms. Ann that was you. I know without a second thought you entered in his courts with thanksgiving and singing and praising him. She will be missed, but loved always

Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

"Your Angel"
Tear drops run down our face 
While our loved one takes her place
In the land of dreams and faith
She waits for the day when life will wake

The sun will rise and the clouds will clear
Her smile we show she is near
We'll feel her strength when a new day is here
And her heart when it's too hard to bare

My angel is one with the brownest eyes
The honest voice and generous spirit
Her love is there whenever we need it 
All we have to do is believe it

She may be gone but that doesn't change
The way she makes us feel everyday
When the wind blows by and the trees shake
We hear every word she makes

No matter where we go 
She will be there
Always willing to show she cares
She's sitting on her cloud above
Watching all of those she loves.

This poem is from me to all of you(Nitra, TJ, Tricie & Family)I Love You!!!

Everyone needs a Ms. Ann in their life, no one will ever take your place. You have touched SO many lives from BCBS to Church. Heaven has gained an AMAZING Angel, it truly won't be the same without you. We will miss your presence but I thank God that you are no longer suffering. You were a strong woman of God and I know God has blessed you with strong children, your legacy will live on through Nitra, TJ, Tricie and the grands. I love you always Ms. Ann....

Our condolences go out to the family of Rev. Ann. She displayed great passion in her ministry as a Worship Leader, Musician, Director,  and child of God. I truly believe that she lived the life that she sang about. I thank God for her and praise God for the legacy that she leaves behind through family and the lives that she touched.

To the Klines-Holloway Family, Look to the hils from whence your help cometh. God will see you through.

God has chosen one of the best. Ms Ann was anointed by God in whatever she did. There is so much we can say and it's all true.  One of many things I remember, are the Woman Retreats. Any ladies remember. We started out with New Birth in Milwaukee and after attending several.  I looked at Ms Ann and said start one in Rockford and bless God she did. We cannot express the saddnes we feel,  but there is Joy in knowing she is wearing her white robe and golden crown.  I know without a doubt God is well pleased and has called her home. Family God will keep you and never leave you. That's my prayer.

My prayers are with you Ms Ann was my American . she will truly be missed just want to say thank you for giving strength showing me that I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me how is your time to wear your robe love you rest in peace my sweet angel... Yolanda brown and family.
