My life will be forever changed; not on December 8th,2005, but on May 14th, 1960.

The day I was born to a family so blessed.

Blessed to have three older brothers all very different, but all so amazing.

Blessed to have a father whose example and devotion to God, his wife and family, I can only admire and hope to emulate. I'm blessed to have him as my father.

Blessed to have had a mother whose love for us so perfect; love beyond all limits and boundaries.

I was blessed to be loved by her, to be her friend; to be her daughter.

Thank you for forever changing my life with your love.

I miss you and love you mom; I'll see you later.....

Cecil, David, Doug, Danny, & Tammy



We were so blessed to have Annie in our lives and to still have the privilege of sharing some time and memories with you all. She and Rosie Ruther gave me the baby shower for Timothy. He is now 35 and we have remained friends and shared many times together over the years. I miss her more than I can say... even though I was not able to see her much the last few years. She will always be in my thoughts and part of my fondest memories.

Our love to you all and you will be in our prayers. Please keep in touch and we will do the same.

God Bless and Keep you,

Norma Craft

It was only a few months ago we were playing Phase 10 with Ann on her visit to Lure Lodge. One thing I missed during this time with Ann was her smile and laughter. I knew she was laughing on the inside when her shoulders shook. This was always true when her call would be to, "Skip Norma!". Deep inside she somehow was still managing a sense of humor and wit regardless her circumstance.

Ann's passing will leave a significant hole in our lives. The Ann whom we loved will always live in our memory and to all who knew her. Love and Prayers,

Norma and J.G. Craft

Ann's love, humour and living as a Christian woman, wife and mother had a impact on my sister's and my life. She was so good to our mother, providing her with true friendship at the same time giving mother honour as her pastor wife. Often when we are reflecting on childhood memories Ann's name pops up in our conversation. Not often does a family have the honour of having someone in their young life to have someone like Ann to make such a lasting and loving impact. We are thankful to God for blessing with us with such a gift.

Aunt Ann was a wonderful and caring woman. Her family was her pride and joy. Her strength made her family stronger. Her love made their love for each other deeper. Her family will miss her dearly as will so many who were graced by her life and presence.

I was always accepted as a daughter not just a daughter-in-law. I will miss Mom Brown and all she taught me about being a wife and a mother. This Christmas she will be celebrating with Jesus and my Mom. It will be a sad time for us but will be her best Christmas ever.



I love you, Mom.

I will always remember grandma as someone who enjoyed serving her family and friends and was happiest when everyone gathered at her home allowing her this honor.



Grandma, you will be missed and always loved.

i was honored to have enjoyed a mother who believed that was the highest calling in life.

God loaned me a beautiful mother. Her life was her family. She cared so deeply, loved so sweetly, and shared so freely. My mother will live on in our thoughts and in our memories.

Today, my mother is in the arms of Jesus.



Just as it was when I was growing up, my mother will be waiting for me to get home.



She was not ours, she was not mine.



I love you mom.
