"Sorry for your loss you are in our thoughts and prayers... Maurica Almond and Family "
"We lived next door to the Crinnigans until 1962. I remember the family well. Ann was only 10 when we moved to Texas. I remember her being a rambunctious young girl. Her friendship with Bill and Bob tells me much about her character. I've been friends with them for 26 years. Wish I had known Ann better. My condolences to the family. "

"I am so sorry to hear of Annies Passing. I used to play jacks and hopscotch with her and her sister Carol when we lived next door to them. I missed seeing her when in Ft. Dodge a couple of years ago. You will be missed. "
