Dear Ray, Jennifer and family,
Janet and I express our deepest condolences. During this difficult moment, we wish for you understanding, wisdom, strength and may you find peace and joy in the wonderful memories which your mother, Ann Mary, provided for so many years.
We love you dear friends, take good care of yourself.

I had the good fortune to coach four of the Probst boys. Mrs. Probst and Dr. Probst were avid supporters of their sons and positive backers of the teams on which their sons played. Mrs. Probst was kind, honest and justifiably proud of her sons. My sympathies to the Probst family. Regrettably, I am in Florida and will be unable to attend the wake.
Aunt Annie will be forever in our hearts. Always a joy to be around. Caring & loving with that Bernhardt humour, which we will miss the most. Many great memories. Still have visions of her out in the outdoor arena picking up rocks & meeting her and John at the gas station in St Louis on our way home from the World Pinto Show in Tulsa, which was the last time we saw that beautiful smile. Our Heartfelt Condolences to all our American Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ♥️
Love Brandon, Paula & Emily Bernhardt
What a great picture of a beautiful lady! I remember many Backer & Probst parties where she would acknowledge and talk to us youngins’. May God Grant His Eternal Peace on your family.

Dear Probst family,
I did not have the pleasure of knowing your mother, Ann, but I am sure she was a very special woman because she did a great job of raising all of you! A mother’s love is eternal. Hold on to that infinite love and let it always be your guiding light.
