To Marvin, Mrs. Smith, Jeffrey, Richard and Your Families:
Ann Ruth Allison was a courageous, perservering person who did not give up life with her family easily. Reflecting on this I was reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul who, when he was nearing the end of his life, penned these words in his second letter to Timothy: "...the time has come for my departure. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day..." 2Tim: 4:6-8.
All who loved Ann, all who knew her take comfort in knowing that she lived her life well, remained on a steady course, and is now at peace with our Lord. God bless you all.
