Post Your Memory of ANN

FUN MEMORY I Have with ANN


Ann had two cars so one summer I came home from college her old car we called "the rollerskate" because it was little and only one of two doors worked. I drove it to work and on my way home it died in the middle of nowhere between bridgeport and frankenmouth, MI. So a police man brings me home.
Ann and I decide to go to the car maybe put a little gas in it to see if that was the problem and I also grabbed a jump rope my Dad came with us. It was about 2 a.m. We get to the car gas not the problem still wont start. So we come up with a brillant idea. We put my dad in the trunk of the car (which was open Ann could see him) and hand him a jump rope end. I go in the dead car and Ann drives her new car. She starts to go...I go nowhere jump rope snapped so we are laughing so hard we get dad out of the trunk (only our dad would get in the trunk, HE IS AWESOME). Go back to my house Dad says I am going to bed.
We come up with another idea we need something stronger and I need to run alittle to get the car moving. So we grab the watering hose and head again to the car it is know 3:30a.m. We twist it around Ann passenger seat 3x and then through her trunk to my passenger side 3x around and then holding the lose ends each. I tell her start slow because I am going to run and then jump in. So we get going...5miles..15 miles..30miles. Almost all lights are blinking yellow but one. We are going past a gas station and there is a police man getting ready to pull out, my thoughts OH NO we are busted. But he doesn't do anything. The one light was red. We stop sure enough I had to jump out run alittle. We make it home...UNBELIEVABLE.
The next morning when asked how did we get the car home we said, "Just call A&A Watering Hose Towing Service" , yes that stands for Amy & Ann

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

"Inspirations Song"

Have you prayed for a love one struggling hard with pain. You ask the Lord for healing, but that healing never came and inspite of all your effort the good Lord called her home. Its hard to let go when your trying to hold on.

Know your down in the valley looking up to the sky, and you pray Lord you know what's best, but I don't understand why. If you could hear your love one speaking now to you they say you wouldn't be grieving if you only knew.

If you only knew I'm just going home your prayers have been answered my sickness is gone. Things look much better from Heaven's view. The sun always shine were having a time if you only knew.

To be absent from the body is present with the Lord. I'm in the arms of Jesus now. I'm not suffereing anymore. Hand and hand we'll stoll together in Heavens avenue we're having a big celebration if you only knew.

If you only knew I'm just going home your prayers have been answered my sickness is gone. Things look much better from Heaven's view. The sun always shine were having a time if you only knew.

Things look much better from Heaven's view. The sun always shine were having a time if you only knew.

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW

OUR PRAYERS HAVE ALL BEEN ANSWERED, I FINALLY ARRIVED. THE HEALING THAT HAD BEEN DELAYED HAS NOW BEEN REALIZED. NO ONE'S IN A HURRY, THERE'S NO SCHEDULE TO KEEP. WE'RE ALL ENJOYING JESUS, JUST SITTING AT HIS FEET.

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, I'M WALKING STREETS OF GOLD. IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, I'M STANDING TALL AND WHOLE. IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, YOU'D KNOW I'VE SEEN HIS FACE. IF YOU COULD SEE SEE ME NOW, YOU'D NOW MY PAIN'S ERASED. YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME TO EVER LEAVE THIS PLACE IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE ME NOW.

MY LIGHT AND TEMPORARY TRIALS HAVE WORKED OUT FOR MY GOOD, TO KNOW IT BROUGHT HIM GLORY WHEN I MISUNDERSTOOD. THOUGH WE'VE HAD OUR SORROWS, THEY CAN NEVER COMPARE. WHAT JESUS HAS IN STORE FOR US, NO LANGUAGE CAN SHARE.

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, I'M WALKING STREETS OF GOLD. IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, I'M STANDING TALL AND WHOLE. IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW. YOU'D NOW I'VE SEEN HIS FACE. IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, YOU'D KNOW MY PAIN'S ERASED. YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME TO EVER LEAVE THIS PERFECT PLACE IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW, IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW.

Resurrection Ground

"Inspirations Song"

This is not the end its resurrection ground. We gather together to say our goodbyes to our precious loved one. Oh, how are hearts ache inside. Then we went to the place were they lowered there body down, some call it grace I call it resurrection ground.

Resurrection ground no more graves allowed we'll meet them in teh air no more parting there with Jesus we'll be for all eternity. This is not the end its resurrection ground.

We come here often were our love ones lay it seems like yesterday we joined hands to pray. How sweet it would be if we were standing round when this cold grave turns to resurrection ground.

Resurrection ground no more graves allowed we'll meet them in the air no more parting there with Jesus we'll be for all eternity. This is not the end its resurrection ground. This is not the end its resurrection ground.

Ann's Mini Biograpphy: by Amy

Ann was born in Saginaw, MI to David and Barb who are both mentally handicaped. She has one older sister, ME. Through out her life she faced many health problems. Ann graduated from Bridgeport Baptist Academy and furthered her education at Crown College. Ann and my life have many fingerprints on them of people who invested in us. Who will you invest in today? You can make a difference in someone!!



Ann was a precious treasure to all who knew her. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, aunt, and friend. Her smile and laugh brought all who knew her sunshine. Ann trusted Christ as her Saviour and loved Him dearly. Her favorite music was the Inspirations. She adored and loved her niece, Joanna, very much. Joanna misses her Nonny very much!! Ann was married for a year and a half to Jesse. Ann was anticipating the arrival of her new niece, Phebe, whom she did not get to meet on this earth.



Although we know Nonny is in Heaven and we will see her again someday! We miss her humor and unconditional love. The special bonds we shared which were broken so unexpectedly. Her smile and testimony through everything was that of a champion. This has been a great loss for me and my family, and Heavens gain.



Absent from the body, Present with the Lord!!
