As Elizabeth Ann Thomas, she
literally became "the girl next door." While my brother Ralph served
during the Korean War he received from Ann almost daily letters of
cheer. As the war ended they married. Three bright and talented children
followed who, with their children, have made the world a more cheerful
place. Our condolences go out to them. They will miss her. So will we.

I am so sorry to hear about
Ann. I worked with her on the Howard County Access Committee for several
years when she was with the dept. of disabilities.
She gave so much of herself to others and was an inspiration to me in my work as an advocate for and parent of children with disabilities. I will miss her. ~ Frances Goodson-Wang, Ellicott City, Maryland April 7, 2010
Condolences from Simon Watson
and Pamela Navarro-Watson.

Ann was my "college mom", and
although it's been years since I've seen her, she's often been in my
thoughts.
It's a rare gift that Ann had, she was capable of paying gracious compliments with her lovely, lilting accent, that could light up your day. She paid me one, once, that has never, ever left me. It boosted a bruised esteem after a silly college boy hurt my heart and it has stayed with me all these years. She was a generous soul. Condolences to Steve, Beth & my dear friend Margaret.

Our sincerest condolences are extended to Mrs. Wicke's family and their friends.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Come, Ye Disconsolate
Words by Thomas
Moore; alt. by Thomas Hastings
Music by Samuel Webbe
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish.
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."
Here see the bread of life; waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
