This was the last good visit with June.

Thank you June for the years of friendship you have given mother.

Thank you all for that day.

Aunt Ann you will be so missed. I will always remember no matter where you were when you seen your Aunt Ann you gave her a kiss and a hug. Now I won’t have you to call after calling and asking dad a question about the family and him saying he doesn’t know none of that family. Would tell me to call my Aunt Ann. You will Forever Be Missed. Love You Aunt Ann RIP 

Laurie

I’ll always cherish her fiery spirit, warm heart, and the love she gave so freely.
She’s back with Grandpa now—together again.
Forever in my heart.

I wish I could say I have a favorite memory but the truth is they are all my favorite and I will forever cherish them. MacKenzie always said to me "but she is my Aunt Ann" and I would always reply "but she was my Aunt Ann first." My memories start as a small child and graduated to her helping me raise my children. She then took on an even bigger role to me when Mom passed away. There are not enough sheets of paper to write all the memories we shared,  or the loss we have suffered. On the other hand there is not enough ink to say what she has meant to me and my family. She will forever be in my heart! Forever loved and missed. My heartfelt sympathy and love to Sonny. her grandchildren and great grandchildren! Sonny you done a hell of a job, your Mom would be so proud of you. I am blessed to have had this journey with you and so grateful to you to have been a part. There will never be another that could compare.  Love to you all!!!

I remember taking this photo and she said “what in the world are you doing with your lips” I said “duck lips” and she said “let me try” 🩷

Words will never describe the pain you go through loosing someone so close to you. But knowing you are happy and watching over me makes the pain a little easier. We will miss you so much, and I’ll carry you with me everywhere I go. Adaleigh will always know how special my aunt Ann was to me and everyone else.

Angie and I shared a very Close Bond thru the years...She truly became a very Dear Freind and treated like her own Family ..She will always remain in my heart ❤️...

Dear Justin, Alicia, Jace, & Tyler,
I am so very sorry for your loss.   I know your grandmother/great-grandmother will be very missed.  May G-d grant you peace during this time.  May her memory be for a blessing.  Love to you all.
Love, Mom/Grandma (Sheila)

I miss your calls at 5:30 every night. I can't believe you aren't here anymore so I can't call you at 5:30 either. I love and miss you big sister!

Aunt Ann was always there, no matter the miles between us. Her love never missed a beat. Almost every birthday, she made me coconut cream pie for it to be brought down for me. With every bite, I felt her care. That kind of love doesn’t fade with time or distance, it stays because it’s eternal. She was my constant, and that will never change. She will always be a whisper away.

I miss you so much Aunt Ann. I will always love you and you will hold a special spot in my heart forever ❤️. I'm so thankful for the closeness I have gotten with you over the last few years. I have definitely learned a lot about you and our family. I so much enjoyed you telling me stories of your life and our family's life. I will definitely cherish those memories! I know you are so happy now that you are with your loved ones in heaven!

Aunt Ann was a huge part of our lives growing up and as adults. I remember when she started making all the cakes and continued doing them until her hands wouldn't let her do it anymore. Aunt Ann you are so loved and will be missed tremendously!

Aunt Ann you were such a beautiful lady and had the kindness heart you will be missed rest in peace we will miss you and love you very much

I always loved when Aunt Ann would bake a cake she would always make one for me and mom without icing because she knew we didn’t like it which became a core memory for me growing up.

The sympathy to her family. We'll miss her friendship and our phone calls tremendously.

Deepest Sympathy to her family , I will miss my neighbor and friend . I worked at Pretty Products with her , I always enjoyed our talks on the phone ,Angie was a pretty lady and had a heart of gold , she loved the Lord . May all your memories bring you comfort during this time ❤️🙏
