Tributes
"To the Williams Family, My deepest sympathy on the loss of Ann. Elliott Spiegel"
"My deepest sympathy to your family on Ann's passing. I am truly grateful to have met and known such a beautiful woman. May she rest in peace and be with our Lord for all eternity. Blessings and peace. Linda"
"Ann will be remembered for as long as those who knew her have life, as a gorgeous and loving person, beautiful inside her heart as equally was she always stunning in her outward appearance; having affection for all; a buoyant and joyous bearing; generosity of spirit, elegance of manner, devoted as a family member, as friend, and as a member of the larger community; never a harsh word or thought for anyone, always a kind and compassionate outlook; with a magnificent and natural sense of design and aesthetics; possessed of an inner fire and a hearty appetite for life; she loved her family, her pets, her many friends, her world; she loved life and she communicated that love effortlessly and infectiously to those many she came into contact with in her work and in her personal life. She had a gentle and ancient soul and radiated sweetness of being. She leaves behind a family now bereft of a true angel, and she will be sorely missed. She did not have long enough on this earth. Now she is with the angels, and one of them. Deepest condolences to her loving family on her premature passing. Your loss can never be compensated, but you must know that the joy at having had Ann in your lives will never be quenched, as neither ever will it be for any who knew her."
"May the love and mercy of our Lord be bestowed upon you and your family during this unfortunate time. My most sincere condolences."
