Tributes
"I was so sorry to hear about Ann. She was a lovely person who brightened this dreary world with her smile. Mothers leave such a terrible void in our lives! You are all in my thoughts and prayers."
"Where does one begin? We all have so many fond memories. From the time Dana and I started Kindergarden, to HS Basketball games, to HS Prom. You and Don always opened your home to all of "your kids", to watch College basketball games, or just to sit and talk. You treated us like we were all your own. Over the years, time and distance has separated us all and we didn't get to spend time together like we used to, but know you and Don were talked about and often thought of. Ann,you and Don have done well and your children is evidence of that. We now know that we have another great person to watch over us from Heaven. You will be truely missed, but One day we will all be together again. We Love ya Momma Strange, Your Jimmy Toad ;)"
