So sorry to hear of Ann's passing. In almost every class we had together at CHS she sat right next to me, usually in front. as were both Christensens and the teachers would seat us alphabetically. She was soooooo smart and such a good student and the teachers loved her, especially Mrs Lake, our English teacher. I couldn't understand why I hadn't received all that extra brain power, but was happy to just be in her shadow. I'm sure she helped to mold and inspire many children as an elementary teacher for all those years. Rest in peace, Ann.

So sorry to hear about my dear friend Ann's death. She was a wonderful friend to have. She was so kind and a true friend. I remember all of the games we went to and sometimes just cruising the Boulevard in Ogden. What fun times we had.
