To the members of Ann’s family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Although I hadn’t met Ann until last year, through the Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support group, I feel blessed to have known her. Her positive attitude, courage, ever present smile and gentle nature were inspiring. She will be missed in our group.
May God shower you with comfort and peace.

Ann was such a kind person and I can only imagine how much she will be missed by her loved ones. I enjoyed working with her at Kentucky Clinic Pharmacy & will never forget how she would buy boxes of Hot Tamales to share with everyone during those busy afternoons. My thoughts & prayers are with you…

May God wrap his arms tightly around Ann’s entire family during this difficult time. Ann was always very kind.

Ann was one of the kindest, most loving & generous souls I have ever know. She had such a gental way about her and would do such thought things for people. I remember her taking me roller skating as a child. She seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. I cherish those and many more memories of Ann. I pray she knew how much many lives she touched. This world has lost an angel…and we are all better for having known her.
