Omaha, NE Tuesday, January 29, 2008 MY HERO AND IDOL!! How can words explain what Grams has done for all of us. God created a very special person to be in our lives. Out of all the obsticals God gave her, she took the best of them and never asked why. I have always learned to never ask God why.. he answers! What a remarkable person to have been here on earth with us. She truely has molded me into the person I am. Grams and Gramps has been the best great-grandparents that Landon could ask for. Thank you for welcoming him into this world with open arms and hearts! He loves you very much Grandma Woof-Woof! I have told him you are at God's house where we will meet again with open arms!

Fremont, NE Monday, January 28, 2008 My mom was my hero.. she was a nut above all nuts, but yet had the heart of no other hearts. We will have so many wonderful memories of my mom.. beings she loved to laugh and loved to kid us all. She had a huge heart filled with love for her family and friends. I believe she is walking the streets of Gold now all dressed up in her Bling Bling as she always liked. Our family will be at a loss for along time without my mom being here.. but there is not one of us who would not want her to walk with God and be loved by God if we can't have her. Without my dad.. my mom would not have had the quality of life she had here on earth. He is one of a kind, who gave 200% to mom. We will cherish her memories and we will cherish my dad for the rest of his life. Thank you to everyone who had a special part in making my moms life a good life. Love Always.. her JONorm & Barb Clausen

Omaha, NE Saturday, January 26, 2008 Dear Joan and family, I was sorry to read in the Fremont Tribune of the loss of your mother. I know when I lost my father, it comforted me to think of Teilhard de Chardin's words, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." May your mother, Ann, rest in peace and may you be comforted by your happy memories. With sympathy and prayers, Lindsey Line NatvigGlenn & Iyone Meyer
Prescott, AZ Saturday, January 26, 2008 We value our friendship with Ann, Dennis and family over the years and will miss 'catching up' on what's going on in Fremont whenever visiting our family there. We cherish the memories of visits to us in Arkansas and Arizona - the fun times at Table Rock Lake, Silver Dollar City and in Branson, her delight in the ridiculous and the embarrassing, her love for Denny and their childran and grandchildren, her courage in dealing with her disability... Yes, Ann will be missed.
