    Bunny, she sounds like she was an amazing woman and I’m sure she’ll be greatly missed by a lot of people. Keep smiling and pushing forward in your grief. She’s looking down and smiling at all the people that she loves. Remember, she’s not gone, you just can’t see her, but she will always be near you and in your heart.

    You were so blessed to enjoy so many precious times with your Mom. Your memories must be overflowing with happy times together. Enjoy them when you feel sad. Try to laugh through your tears.

    How wonderful to find out that Ann enjoyed music so much; especially getting to entertain others. Must have been so much fun to sing at all those events back in the day.

    Her obituary was written in such a positive read. I know that having you and your love around her for so much of her life was the most important thing in her life. The perfect daughter.

    Love to you, Bunny from Marilyn and Kaare

    Always the life of the party, it was a pleasure to be there to celebrate her 100th! How lucky we all were to have her in our lives. And how lucky she was to have such a loving and devoted daughter. My mom passed away in February and I know the hole that loss leaves in your heart. May the memories of your time together help soften the pain. And may the warmth of friends and family help ease your sorrow. May she Rest In Peace.
