Ann took me under her wing when I first married and helped me when I had 3 lively boys.
We had so much fun together over the years - meals out with 'Bambi' to eat. We would laugh until we nearly wet ourselves! Several hilarious Christmases with Ann home-made stuffing.
The loyalty to our family continued with the twins declaring that Owen and Ann were their Godparents. As a family we were prayed for and cared about in such a loving way.
Cream teas on a Sunday come rain or shine and a healthy walk first. Ann was so much more than a friend to me; more like my mum. I have and will miss her so much, but am so blessed to have shared these 29 years with her.
May God hold her close.
