Ann wasn’t just a friend to me. She was my sister. She and I spent a lot of time together. I took her to almost all her doctor appointments and treatments. We had so much fun together. Some of my best memories were with her. From Starbucks after every appointment to going shopping. We laughed so much when we were together. We had a lot of good times together, but we went through a lot of hard times together. I remember the day her doctor told us that she was not able to get chemo any longer. We went out to my car and cried together. Then we prayed and put it in God’s hands. We left the cancer center and went directly to Starbucks for her favorite drink the caramel ribbon crunch with extra extra caramel. Truthfully she would’ve been happy if they would’ve handed her a cup of just caramel. After that we put on worship music and just started singing at the top of our lungs and praised Jesus. She loved the Lord. As much as I’m going to miss her and my heart is broken, I wouldn’t want her to come back. When she took her last breath here on earth she saw Jesus immediately. Now she’s in her forever home. I will miss her every day of my life until I see her again. I love you Ann and I pray for your family to have a peaceful that passes all understanding. 🙏❤️ MICKIE WASER

I’ve known Ann and her family for a long time. I used to hang out with her brother Billy back in the day and then became best friends with her sister Shira. I will never forget how amazing she was and how welcome I always felt around her and her family. So sorry to all of you for your loss! Erin Hall
