Posted on: Saturday, August 28, 2021Dear Jim, family and friends of my precious sister, Ann. As you all know, Ann was a delight to be around and would light-up the room with her big smile, jokes and laughter. Ann loved animals and was the best fur-baby mom an animal could have. She had the biggest heart and gave countless animals love and affection, whether they were strays or her own beloved pets. Of course animals were not the only thing she loved. Ann loved being a nurse and worked countless hours tirelessly. She would be there to help her patients get well or comfort them when their time was near the end. Ann’s untimely passing as shocked us all and it has broken our hearts, but Ann will live on in our memories and we’ll cherish every one of them, always! I’ll see you again in a better place Annie, Rest in Peace my beautiful, precious sister! All my love, Michelle (Maria)
