Marjorie Gardner - Ann was the best sister-in-law anyone could have. We shared our joys and sorrows and a few vacations togeather with lots of fun. She was a great Mother for her children to see that they grew up to be good citizens and in return they became great parents. A big loss in our family, but a blessing in God's heaven today. I will miss her so much.
