Auntie Ann was loved by all of us and will be greatly missed. We have very many happy and great memories of our time together. Our love goes out to your family during this very difficult time. We love you and are thinking of you.

I remember many good times with Ann Sara. I was a flower girl in her wedding party–she was voted June bride that year because she was so beautiful. When I had to stay overnight in Milwaukee, she let me stay with her–Cliff was working nights at that time. She had an infectious laugh and a ready smile. She will be missed by those who knew her.

These memories are for my loving aunt. She was the sister I never had and filled so many voids in my life. She taught me how to dress, choose accessories, how to shop ( always wait for those sales and avoid the markups), taught me how to apply makeup correctly. She always said: “If you can’t take your time to apply it correctly, then don’t wear any at all”! I never heard her say a harsh word about anyone. She accepted everyone for who they were. I will miss her deeply and I hope she gets all the ice cream sundaes she wants. I am sure heaven has a deal with Ben & Jerrys. Until we meet again you will always be in my heart.
