Ann's tender, womanly voice and kind ways are memories I'll cherish forever. My childhood was immeasurably better for having known her, Ray, and their children. May the Lord bless, and keep you all.Steve

We were sad to read of your mother's death. I was planning a trip to Wisconsin in early October and my mom (Mary Burbridge) said she wanted me to take her to see Ann. Things have changed and I am flying home today as my mom is on her deathbed. How ironic that two such very dear friends would pass from this life within days of each other. Our family will remember your family in thought & prayer during this time.
