So very sorry to hear about Phoebe. My fondest memories are of me, her, Aunt Delano and Sharon at the Beach together. She was so much fun. Prayers for the family.
So sorry for your loss, prayers and love
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 ….

Anns kindness towards me since I’ve known her will never be forgotten. I never had the opportunity to tell her but the long conversation we had after my grandmother passed away really helped me grieve her loss and touched my heart. She was a special lady and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to everyone in the family who had the pleasure of knowing her better.
Ann was a special lady and loved by so many. I bet Alice and Frankie were waiting at heaven’s door with a deck of cards and there is a card party going on like no other.
Love and sympathy to you all.
Love, prayers, and condolences to you all. It was always a pleasure to see Ann walk through doors at Starnes Cove Church. Always full of life.
Earl and family. So sorry to hear of Ann passing. Just want you to know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. My prayers are with you and the family.
Earl, Tim and Lee I have very sweet memories of Ann growing up next door. Memories of running through the cow field to get to the other side. Ann was always so loving and kind to me and always was happy to see me with a big smile. Love and prayers to you all.
