Dear Ken,
My sincere condolences to you upon the passing of your mother. Ann was a wonderful person and all who knew her loved her. I have fond memories of her and she was always good to me. She will be missed. May your memories of her be a legacy of her life.

It was always a pleasure to be around Ann. We shared many meals with her at Steve and Geneva house
Dear Ken and family,
You will never know how much your mom meant to me. I coined her as Ma. Our family was majorly blessed by have known and benefited by the love and care from your mother and father too. My Nannie (Ethel Stroup) and Ann did so much together including getting lost together going to see the Wrights as well as to help mom take care of Nannie to the end. It would fill a book plus all the moments we spent with Ann. She even nursed mom and I because we saw Dr. Scholl. You had a mom that was more precious than gold. My mom Glenda Motley went home to Jesus the day before Ann so I understand missing good momas. Please know that I the great granddaughter of Ethel Stroup and daughter of Bedford and Glenda Motley am thinking of you and keeping you in prayer. God be with you dear ones
I love you and I adored "Ma" Ann!
Love ,
Lynda Motley Wilson
