Hi! Ernie and Ann were regulars at the morning worship service, Celebrate Sunday at the IMAX in Branson and always came when they were visiting. They were a delight to know and we enjoyed visiting with them. I was just thinking of her the other day. Please know that I am sending my heartfelt condolences to you all.

Ann was my MIL, and grandmother to my son Dayton. We loved her very much. Dayton was so excited when she came to his wedding. I remember hearing her sing a few times. Wonderful sweet beautiful lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Much love
Ann was a kind and loving woman. Not only was she a wonderful Mother, but she was an amazing Grandmother and Great Grandmother. We will never forget the time when Ann traveled all the way to Kentucky, with Guy and Chris, to attend our wedding. We will always be forever thankful for that! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Ann was loved and will be missed.
