It still seems unreal to me. I babysat Ann and her sisters when I was 13 or so. It doesn’t feel right that she should go before me. Ann was a very sweet and giving person. When she and Steve lived next door to Betty and Becca they could pretty much count on Becca showing up at their house. There is another angel in Heaven as she joins her mom, dad and sister.

This is so hard to believe. Ann was the sweetest person. So kind and loving to everyone she knew. Always had a smile on her face. She will truly be missed by all. My sympathy to Steve, Debbie, Becky, Steve and Mike as I keep you in my prayers.

It’s hard to believe she’s gone. Ann will be missed. We’re so sorry for your loss.

Such a shocking loss for our family. There is no replacing Ann, nor filling the void left with her gone. Such memories growing up together. Cousins really are your first friends. My heart breaks for Steve, and the Friedman/Steele families as they walk this path again. Love to you all.

Sending prayers of peace and comfort to the family, just in shock her smile radiated any room or place she walked into, she was a sister-in-law for a short time but a lifetime of a kind friend. Some months ago she sent a message on Facebook she was making my recipe of cabbage, bacon, and noodles, or she would be baking my moms special sugar cookies.
The Friedmans are one of those families that make you feel loved. I will miss this sweet lady . My sympathies to Steve,The Friedmans,Adam Hawley and all others. God bless you all
