Leave a tribute
One could not have asked for a better friend than you, Ann. You always remembered little things about my life and asked how they went. I will miss our lunches, chats on the phone and emails. I will especially miss celebrating our birthdays together every October. You were a very special person in my life.
Dear Jim, Marilyn, Michael and families: We were saddened to hear that Ann had passed. May it be comforting to know she is free of pain now and at peace...looking down on her beautiful grandchildren. I will remember Ann fondly from all of our New Year's Eve parties our families shared each year when we were all younger and visits to Aunt Anne and Uncle Austin's. With Sympathy and Love, Wendy (nee Alexander) and Murray Percival and also, on behalf of my sister Kathy.
Sorry about your loss, Hoppy. Met your lady several times over the years. Always the big smiling, happy face and the serene inner person. Kempy
