Gehl and Kim and the Tucker family we were saddened by the loss of your mother. Memories will remain of all the times we had during the years . Wish we could be there to help , Viv and I will be back Sunday nite. Please call if we can help in any way. Our thoughts are with you all. Friends Forever!
Ann was like a mother to me through these many years; a grandmother to my sons, a friend to all but especially a loving companion to my Dad; her "Red Head." She was his world and we will cherish many, many good memories with all of us together, to include my ex husband, Jim whom she loved like her own son. I especially remember her 'Pope' jokes, always in good taste of course, a great cook, her love of the Cardinals baseball team, calling me "honey", and loving me like I was her daughter. I remember summers in her backyard and she could name every bird that sang, every flower, tree, bush or shrub there ever was. She gave from her heart, and spoke fondly of her dear family and although I haven't met all of them, I know all of them just by her words of gratitude and love for them. I will miss her dearly and thank God He shared her life with myself, my Dad and my family. She was a ray of sunshine and a shining star in all of our lives. With Sincere Sympathy, Kelly & John Levesque, Kevin, Brian and Jason Taylor
Ann was one of the most sincere loving persons that I have had the privilege of meeting and knowing for 20 years of my life while I was married to Red's daughter. She became my sons, Kevin, Brin and Jason, extra grandmother 100%. She visited my family numerous times and was a joy to be with. Although estranged the past 11 years, she will always be in my heart. May her family travel through their loss with ease knowing she is in God's house full time. Sincerely, Jim Taylor, USA Retired
Gehl and Kim,My brother, Bob and his wife, Betty, are in Decatur this weekend to celebrate Betty's mother's 90th birthday. Bob happened to see your Mom's obituary and called me to let me know. We are so sorry to hear this. You all were such good friends as we grew up on 44th St. together. We just lost track of you all as we went our separate ways. Our mom's did stay in touch with each other over the years until Mom developed alzheimer's around 2000 and passed away in 2002.Wish we could be there tomorrow with you but know that our hearts will be. Please e-mail me and let me know about Linda and Bobby (Robert). Thank you,John and Bob
