    "What remains when everything transient goes is love." By chance I came across this obituary yesterday. I didn't know Ann Baumgartner personally, but she must have been a fantastic woman, as I can read here. So I want to light a candle for you. Her husband was my second great-uncle. He was my grandfather's cousin. They didn't know each other either. I am deeply sad that I no longer had the opportunity to contact Ann Baumgartner. Surely she could have told me some nice stories!

    We are so humbled to have spent the majority of our lives living next door to Ann on Hudson Avenue. Her personality and humor was one-of-a-kind, which made the lives of all those around her so much brighter. We will never forget you, Ann! Thanks for being the world's greatest neighbor. Love, Roseann, Gary, Alyssa, & Jordan Rhone.
