Wilmar, AR Monday, October 11, 2010 To my family, the "Lewis' ", I would like to say to you that God sent an angel to earth in 1941 by the name of Patricia Ann. She had an angelic spirit, always wore a smile and always had encouraging words to pass along..along with a warm and tender hug EVERYTIME I saw her. I called her "Mamma Ann" just as most who knew her. Our Lord and Saviour in Heaven has called her home to be with Him, but sweet/precious memories will linger in our hearts until we meet again. Rejoice in knowing that God took care of Momma Ann, and she is in heaven smiling down on you. I love each of you and if you need anything, please let me know.Kim Burnett

Crossett, AR Monday, October 11, 2010 Dear Diane and family,We are so sorry for your loss. I pray that God will hold each of you close and give you the strength and comfort you need to get through this sad and difficult time.
Ann was a huge part of my life, She was always there from the time I started elementary school until my junior year in high school and long after that. She always told me she was my boys' black grandma. We all love our dear, dear, sweet Ann.
As I look back over the special memories we have of Ann, I smile. Today, as I look at a favorite picture of mine with Ann, Bev, & Carolyn at Mom & Dad's 50th anniversary celebration; my heart is heavy but, rejoices because I know she now shares Heaven with our Lord and the loved ones who have gone before us.
To a very special lady, we love you and will miss you so very much, Tommie Lou
