Being cheerful helps when we are sick, but nothing helps when we give up. Proverbs 18:14(cev)

Ms. Ann was a pillar in our church when she was diagnosed with cancer. She became a stronger pillar as she fought the disease. As she underwent surgeries and treatments, she never lost her will or her smile. She always focused on serving others even while her body was being ravaged by her illness. She was instrumental in our WMU program and taught my children the importance of missions even as she taught me way back when. Ms. Ann passed away about two weeks ago leaving a hole in our church, but she was and is an inspiration to all of us who knew her.

She relied on her faith. She lived this verse. She never gave up.
