Offering my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Draw close to God in prayer, and the Bible promises that “he himself will sustain you.”—Psalm 55:22. Also a scripture that personally brings me comfort is at Isaiah 25:8).’- He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].

Dear Scott, Steve and families:
Aunt Ann was larger than life to me. All the good she did for her family, my family and others could fill volumes. She never quit giving and revealed to all who knew her to be a very special and beautiful person.
She will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Ann’s passing. She was a remarkable women, full of love, grace and smiles. Some of my fondest childhood memories were spent in her backyard riding ponies, fishing in the pond with Duke, the family dog and enjoying Ann’s great southern cooking. I have wonderful memories of a wonderful women, and I’ll miss her.

Although we are not able to be with you this morning, our hearts and prayers go out to you. Your mother and grandmother will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and her sense of humor which brought smiles to everyone, lucky enough to be in the room with her. She was a talented artist who generously shared her work with others. She gave my mother an oil painting of a clown, which was still wet when she presented it. It has always been a prized possession of our family despite having my fingerprint on the clown's nose, because I didn't believe it was still wet. Some of our best vacations were spent in Harriman, visiting the Shrout's. In spite of Steve's broken arm and my sister's bee stings we always had a great time and your mother always made us feel at home. She could light up a room and we all loved her very much. We will miss her and are truly sorry that we couldn't be with you today during this difficult time. Our hearts are with you. Love, Jerry and Nancy Janszen

Scott & Steve - I am deeply saddened to learn of "Aunt Ann's" passing. I have fond childhood memories of summer visits to your house in Tennessee, playing and exploring your huge back yard, making homemade ice cream and sitting on the back patio drinking lemonade. I loved "Aunt Ann",and always looked forward to visiting,she was kind, gracious,and always seemed to enjoy life. When I close my eyes and think of her, I remember her pretty face, her laughter and big beautiful smile. Even though it has been many years since I last saw Aunt Ann, I will miss her.
