We miss you!


This is a special post for us today as we remember this very special woman! Today is Ann's birthday and even though she is not here with us to celebrate, we celebrate it in remembrance of her. She was such a loving mother, wife and friend. We all miss her dearly... Although Breckin never got to meet his grandma she left behind a legacy so huge that he will not only know who she was, but he will know everything she did for the Lord while she was on earth. When Breckin was born we shed many of tears wishing she was there to meet him, then it hit us...She did! She meet him before any of us. Then I kind of started worrying because it was always a joke that she would say she had prayed for Dane to have twin boys just like him...well not only did she pray that but now she is standing next to the Lord himself on the throne and anyone that knows Ann, you know she was putting her word in! However, although my husband was a little toot while growing up, she raised him to be a very godly, respectful, strong man of character. That is exactly what he turned out to be. She did such a great job and I can only pray that Breckin turns out to be that kind of man as well...he has the best role model!

We miss her a lot but she is exactly where she wanted to be! We know she probably has many jobs in heaven but we like to think one of them is being our guardian angel. It makes me smile to think of her sitting in the passenger seat of Dane's patrol car every night that he is at work and watching over my precious child as he sleeps at night.

So this is to Ann... Happy Birthday and we miss you so much!

I know that I only met with her a couple of times before she passed, but the times that I did were special. I know that she is truly missed by many. Take comfort that she is watching over your family.

I'm so glad you came to my blog and left the comment you did. It just solidified what I had already felt. Dane's mom seems really amazing. You honored her in such a beautiful way. Thanks again!

Thank you Britt for honoring Ann like this on her birthday. It made me cry because I know she touched so many people's lives the period of time she was here on earth and she will continue to touch people forever. Ann was one amazing AMAZING woman of God whom I got to know the period of time I went to Trinity. And with the Incredibly blessed ministry she started, "Beauty for Ashes" finally made me begin dealing with past issues and today (RIGHT NOW) because of that, I am finally ready to deal more and move on with my life that Christ has for me. Like Kendra said, she is no doubt watching over you all and that is very special. Love you guys! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANN!
