  1. Mom,
    I wish for you to come back, but I don’t want you to suffer again. I know you are here in spirit and I will always love and miss you. As we have told you we will take care of daddy and know you are looking over each and every one of us. We know you are reminiscing with everyone that has gone before you and in time you will be teaching them all how to play phase 10. And how the pen always wins (lol).
    My love for you has never faded and never will. For you will always be in my heart forever.

    Your Loving Daughter,
    Debbie

  2. To all the Childress family – my sincere condolences and hugs to you all. I am glad to have known Ann and all of you and formed lasting friendships with you all but it is more like family. It is never easy to let them go and wish we all could live eternal life on earth, but as God calls our loved ones to his forever home, it is nice to know they are at peace and no further suffering. They then get the best seat in the house to watch over the loved ones they left. But know they are always in your hearts and thoughts and never far away to still talk to…watch for the cardinal that will visit, and tell your Mom “Hello”… love you all

  3. So sorry for your loss. May God give you all comfort and peace in the days to come by reminding you of all the great memories you share.
    Love and hugs

  4. I’m so sorry for your loss Roger and family. May you all find comfort with the many memories you all have of your dear wife and mother.

  5. Dear Ann, Know that you were loved & will be missed by so many family & friends. It was always a joy to “run in to” you & Roger around town. Hugs & prayers for all that remain & miss you, so very much.

  6. Roger, Ricky, Debbie, Susie, Kim and all of the family members, the loss of Ann here on earth is temporary until you all meet again. It is hard losing her and my heart hurts for this loss. My prayers for comfort, strength and peace will always remain. The memory when y’all lived across the street from us so long ago has remained etched in my mind and heart. Ann was a good and kind neighbor as I am sure she continued being. GOD be with all of you during this difficult time

  7. Thinking of you and your Family in these difficult times.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

  8. My dear Aunt you truly will be missed. We had so much doing these together and now go play cards with mother. It broke my heart I did not get to come. I loved you so my best friend and felt you were my other Mother!!!
