  1. My deepest condolences to Ann’s family, Rebecca, Steve, Hilary and Vanessa Moir. Prayers, peace, love, and hugs. Julie

  2. I only knew you for a short time-but I was blessed by your presents! Thank-you for allowing me to take care of you!I meet your daughter the day you entered into heaven and I know where she received her kindness from!

  3. Dear Rebecca and family, I have loved and enjoyed your mother through so many trials and joys. She was my wonderful friend and I have missed both she and your dad so much. Maybe it was our common farm background that allowed our friendship to grow. I will never forget either one of them: the rides on the combine, lunch in the field with Kim, your mother’s fabulously decorated perfect Christmas cookies she made every year for the bake sale at First Pres when we were both there. May you be blessed with many loving memories and pass them along to her very dear grandchildren. Blessing to your family, DiAnne Hatch
