Posted 5/7/07 Witteveen family, Cookie ,so sorry for your loss. Ann was one special lady for the short time I knew her. She was really looking forward to moving to her new appartment so she wouldn't have to share the bathroom with anyone else. She wanted me to be sure to stop in to visit her and see her new appartment when she moved in. marguerite stroven Posted 5/11/07 Witteveen familt.......My prayers and deepest sympathy is with you at this time of your loss.
