I havent checked my mail since last friday, I've been sick in bed with a cold my hubby passed my way. I had to come on and see this, I know the whole list will feel the same way I do. I have know Ann for many years and have been to her place many many times, she always treated me like family. I loved her very much, my heart and loveing thoughts go out to Theis and Tom and the rest of the family. She was a Grand Lady, and always will be. Rest in peace Ann.Barb Ross and the Talimar Kids.

When Marion,her daughter informs me of the arrangements,I'll post to the list Ann was like a sister to me. We go back 50 years,handling our dogs together. Of course she'll be remembered as the lady that wouldn't let you go past her Parent Club table without buying something. No one ever said no to Ann Mesdag.
