  I first met Ann "Lil' Miss Annie" in 1988. And we quickly became friends. Ann had a great sense of humor, and a quick wit about her, but she was also a very kind and compassionate person. Back in 1989, I was going through some pretty tough times in my life. My marriage was failing and my Brother had some serious health issues. I will never forget that Friday morning. When I walked into work,all stressed out and feeling like I was at the end of my rope. Ann took one look at me and said "Uh Oh whats going on" The tears started fall and the words were just pouring out of my mouth. Annie sat quietly and just listened until I was finished talking. She stood up and hugged me and said "You know Sheila, I may be a bit Vertically Challenged, but I also have some pretty strong shoulders. If you need them to lean on they are all yours." I Thank God for Ann being in my life during this difficult time. I leaned on her strong shoulders, for several months. Ann was true to her word, she never let me down. Al-The time has come for me to Pay It Forward. When you need a strong shoulder to lean on. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. You, Your Family, and The Goodman Family, are all in my Heart and in my Prayers.  Love And Prayers To All

I met Ann through her sister Cathy in the early 1980's and later through our mutual friends, Lynn & Rick Kaser.  Ann always impressed me with her quiet strength and determination to improve herself in life.  I know that the Goodman and Welling families will deeply miss her along with the many friends she made throughout this life.  My prayers are with your families through this difficult time.  Ann will always be remembered by me as a kind and thoughtful person.

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Ann Marie.  I have fond memories of her when I was a child many years ago.  May she rest in peace.

Ann, Tony and I wish we would have been closer to really get to know you- but what we do know, is how happy you made our brother Al, and what a wonderful friend you have been to your step-children.  Your grandchildren adored you and you will always be remembered for your kind soul and warm smile.  We will comfort Al and the kids as best we can, as we would know you would want us to do.  Rest now and take your place in Heaven to watch over us.  Tony and Pam

Anna Maria, you were my my first real friend. now you've left me, and gone further away from me than the 85 miles i went from you. i love you, girl. you have always had the title of my best friend. you take away a part of me by leaving this world already. Love you forever. Renee E.

I known Ann for a long time she was a good person that made you luagh and smile she will be missed and my prayers are to her family and freinds

I wanted to write something meaningful, but I am not very good with words.  I just want to let Ann Marie's family know that I have been thinking about them every day.  I hope that during this difficult time that your love for each other will help comfort and support each of you.  Love, Donna Parish

I was shocked to hear how she was so unexpectedly taken away. Her husband, siblings and entire family must be reeling.  As a kid I was really shy, but I remember her as being approachable with a beautiful smile. May the soul of dear Ann Marie rest in peace.  Amen.

I may Not have know her that well but I felt like I had known her for years anyway. she was a kind woman and she will be dearly loved and missed. I will keep every one that knew her in my prayers!  

                                          God Bless,
                                             Mel-Mel
                                   one Hlaf of Team M/J.
