Anne McMahon KarchDear Nehls Family, I would like to express my sympathy on the death of your Mom. She was a wonderful friend to my Mom, Sally Duffy McMahon. It was always so fun to see Ann. Through the years, since my own mother's death, Ann has kept in touch at Christmas and other big events and my family so appreciated it. I will be thinking of all of you in the days ahead. I know your Mom will be greatly missed.

Judy Testard BauerMy memories of Ann start from my childhood as she was my neighbor, we belonged to the same church. My sister and Ann were friends. I saw her throughout my entire life. She was one of the sweetest people I knew. She was fun and funny. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and thinking of Mary especially. I lost my sister the same year Bob passed away. I miss her every day as she was also my best friend. Rest in peace Ann.
