My photo album’s filled with tears,
As I look back upon the years.
All the times we shared together
Are memories I’ll keep forever

God blessed me with a dear friend
I know she is in his arms tonight.

Ann was such a sweet lady. We enjoyed attending Southside Rage travel softball games with her and Bob. She always kept score and was so very proud of her grandaughter, Taylor. We will miss her dearly, and pray that her entire family will have much strenght in this difficult time of loss.

I only got to know Ann the last couple of years and she was so nice and so funny! I don't ever remember her missing one of Matthew's basketball or baseball games. I also know she traveled with Taylors softball team wherever they went. My heart goes out to all of you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Tracey Staton
