The bright colors and beauty of these flowers reflect the joy and happiness that Ann brought to so many people’s lives.

PERTH AMBOY – We looked up the meaning of the name Ann and it came up with this description. Graceful, Prayer, Merciful, God has favored me. Ann was named appropriately as she had all the attributes that were described above.

I’ve known Ann since I was the Maid of Honor at my sister’s wedding over 30 years ago. Ann was a faithful member of St. Peter’s Church and was an active member in all of the church’s organizations that she belonged to. She supported all the other organizations in the Church as well.

Ann was the one who contacted me whenever the Church ran its bus rides to Atlantic City. She was one of the people in charge of those trips. And her loving husband, Victor, always traveled on those trips with her. To me, they made the perfect couple.

They were quite lucky. When St. Peter’s had its gift auctions or other events with raffles, Ann’s name would always be called out as winner.

She also did very well at A.C. Once in a blue moon I would touch her for good luck but it seems like all the luck went her way.

Ann was on the committee for the St. Peter’s Church Annual Fashion show at the Raritan Yacht Club.

God saw that Ann was getting very weak and in great pain. He needed a special flower to complete one of his numerous gardens. So he called Ann home because she had been a good and faithful servant to Him. She was a faithful member to St. Peter’s Church and its family. She was a loving wife to Victor. To her family and friends, she was a great source of joy and love.

When Ann arrived in heaven, after she was given a tour by God. He told her, “I have a special place for you to see.”

When the doors opened to this place, there was a beautiful painted bus. On that bus there was a beaming Joan Yaremko. Joan embraced Ann with a huge hug and smile. God announced to these two Heavenly Angels that He has a special assignment for them.

They will be transported back to Earth, to ride on the buses that St. Peter’s Church uses when they go on their trips. Joan and Ann will be there to say a special prayer to wish the passengers a safe journey. Also, their presence will be felt at the St. Peter’s Fashion Shows. Ann may not be here physically, but her spirit remains at St. Peter’s Church. Remember that beautiful smile and times you shared. She will be right there. This, I know to be true. R.I.P.

Love, Carolyn
