  2. Earl Tim and Ann we are so sorry to hear about Phoebe passing. She was such a sweet heart and we really enjoyed being around her whenever we saw y’all. May God give you peace and strength during this difficult time.

    • So sorry, I have known the family since I was a little Girl, Bless you Tim, Lee, Linda, Earl, Thoughts and Prayers. Ann was a sweet Lady. May God Bless you all.

  3. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you. So sad to learn of Ann’s passing. I always loved to hear her soft voice with that southern accent. Time gets away from us without doing things we plan. The last time I saw Ann was at the NC State TWH show. We talked about getting all the members of the Horse Club back together for a reunion type meal. Now another opportunity has been lost. She will be missed. I am glad I had the privilege of knowing her. Lots & lots of good memories of shared laughter, friendship & horse related activities. Those were the days ….
