Sam, What I want to add to my message is that I only knew Ann as a precious, bright and happy child. I did not know her as an adult but after reading others' messages Ann grew to be a very special person.

Sam, I am so sorry to hear about Ann. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sam. My memori s of Ann go back a long way ... to our car pooling days.
I was sorry to read that Joan has gone. We were Cub Scout mothers when my son, Lawrence and Your Sam started scouts.
In fact, as scouts on Arbor Day they planted the now large magnolia near the corner of Royal Ave. and Bank St. on what was once the town hall grounds.

Ann Witherspoon, what a beautiful soul you are. You will always live in my heart. I met you as a healer and with your skills and loving kindness, a back problem that I thought would never end disappeared forever. Your depth and spirituality made for some amazing conversations. You made me feel so appreciated as a person and an artist - and I pray you felt the same from me and all of us who call you loving friend. You made a huge difference in many lives. Countless lives. God Bless You, Ann Witherspoon.
