My sisters and I stayed with Ann at Nazareth many times through the years. I am Bernard (Ann’s brothers) daughter. Ann always made us feel so welcome and we had so much fun every time! I’ll never forget all the fun children’s songs Ann taught us! “Ten little angels all dressed in white, trying to get to Heaven on the end of a kite!” One of my favorite songs which I’ve handed down to my children and grandchildren.
Rest in peace in our good Lords loving arms Ann. I love you!
I could write a book on Ann but will only say this since this statement about Ann is all that really counts.
Ann had at a very young age what we call “spiritual wisdom”.
Spiritual Wisdom defined is knowing that eternal life with God is the ultimate goal and then every decision you make in life will be made with that goal in mind.
Bernard, Ann’s brother.
A ‘Beautiful Soul’ I had the privilege of working with for many years.
My condolences to the family.
I am so sorry Margaret for your loss!
