    I am so sad to have heard of the passing of Aunt Annie. I have so many wonderful memories of going down the hill to play with Marie. Aunt Annie was always so fun and I remember all the delicious goodies she would make us.
    Marie, Mary Ann and I were all the same age. Such precious times.

    My deepest condolences to you all. I grew up as a neighbor of Ann and Bill. Ann driving the lawn mower around the yard is one of my cherished and often talked about memories of childhood. You could always count on her smiling face and waving and taking time out of her day to come and chat. We would always invite her to come into the swimming pool with us, but she would decline, and she watched our dogs and house when my family went on vacation. She was a wonderful woman and left such a positive mark on my and so many people’s lives and will be long remembered. I am so sorry for your loss.
