Ann Talle Obituary

Herman and Dodie, I just found this guest book. I wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Anne. I still have Amy's voicemail on my mobile phone. I'm sure you know what a truly wonderful person you raised. She had a very special gift to make you feel that you are the most important person. She also had the ability, no matter how badly your day was going, to put a smile on your face. I still think of Anne often, and miss that she is not on this earth anymore. So, while it has been over 20 eyars since we left Texas, I still feel she is one the the special people in my life.

Ann opened my first checking account at First National right after I moved to MN. She was always very helpful. Then I applied to work for First National. When I was hired and came to work at the Anoka branch it was so nice to see a familer face. She always had a smile on her face and a happy person. I will miss her a great deal.

Herm and Dodie,



I just now read of your daughter's passing, as a result of the explosion in Ramsey. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. At times, there are no words.....but may God's Grace sustain you.

To family and friends of Ann. Though many of us did not know Ann personnally that day, it felt like we had known her for years. On behalf of the firefighters of Ramsey, we are sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you and Ann.

I never had the opportunity to meet Ann however, I feel the need to say some words to her family and friends. I am a friend of Lorraine who was with Ann and Lois that fateful morning. I feel your grief and sorrow and I just pray that God will help us all through these difficult times.





Sincerely,





Marian Cameron

I worked with Ann at 1st Nat. I never seen her have a bad day. I loved hearing her voice mails everyday. I remember one day when it was a summer day and it was pouring rain outside. Her voice mail said hello what a beautiful day if your a duck. She was the most positive person I knew. We shared many lunches and chats. I still can not believe her smiling face is gone. I will look up to the sun and see her smiling down at us all. She will be so missed by so many people. To Ann's parents what a great job you did raising a beautiful daughter.

Herm, Dodie and family,

We are deeply saddened of the news of your dear daughter. Trust in our LORD with all of your hearts and lean not on your own understanding. Those words brought much hope to our family at the time of our dear Derek's death. Cling to all of the beautiful memories you have of her. God bless you. Bernie and Ella Rasinski (Chris Lares'parents)

Herm and Family,

I had not had the opportunity to meet Ann but from everything that I have heard of her she was a wonderful person. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I know that we always say that parents are not supposed to bury their children. There must be a reason that God has a plan that takes them from us too soon.

You are in my prayers.

Please accept our sincere sympathy on the tragic death of your daughter...our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate her life.

Dear Herm and Dotie,



I am so very, very sorry about Anne. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting her, but from the way you talked about her at BGS, Herm, she undoubtedly was a very special, wonderful person. You were so proud of her!



"A man walked on the beach with the Lord. Most of the time there were two sets of footprints, but sometimes only one set. The man asked why the Lord did not walk with him all the time like He promised, and the Lord said, 'When you see only one set of footprints, that is when I carried you.'"



You are in my prayers,



Mary Beth

My dear Herm, Dotie, and family,

Words can not express the deep sadness and pain we feel for you and your family. Hold onto the promise that we are separated from the ones we love, for only a short time. We will all be together again one day. The following passage helped me so much, after our Derek died. I hope it will bring you some peace.

"There are many rooms in my Father's house, I am going to prepare a place for you, and once it is prepared, I will come and bring you to myself; so that you will be where I am." John 14:2-3

Your dear Ann is with Jesus now, waiting for the day of that grand reunion! With much love, Chris, Paul, John Lares, Jared Rectenwal

Herm & Dotie, we can not begin to know the grief & loss you are feeling, but know you are in our thoughts & prayers.

I worked with Ann at First National Bank Elk River. She was such a joy to work with. Always happy and laughing. If you called her and were down in the dumps you better believe that when you hung the phone up you were having a lot better day. I worked out of the main office and Ann and I talked on a daily basis. She was always willing to help me out. Her and I never did get the chance to get together before I moved and I am sorry for that. She will be greatly missed. I know she is with the Lord and making all HIS angels smile and laugh. My prayers and condolences are with Ann's family and friends. I will never forget her and will be together with her again in the house of the Lord. God Bless

Dear Talle Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Remember to call on your friends and family for support and love during the year. Our Deepest Sympathies to you. Cindy, Marshall, Malcolm & Austen Browne (Craig's sister)

Ann, You will be missed so MUCH!!! Even though it has been 4 years since I worked with you, you have been thought about often. Your wonderful personality, neverending smile, ALWAYS would light up my day. You are TRULY UNFORGETTABLE!!!

I worked with Anne at 1st National Bank. When I first started there she was had made me feel like I had been there forever. She acted like I was a friend of hers and that's the way she always treated me. Anyone that called me Judith, I didn't like them doing it. But when Anne did it she said it in a certain way and it didn't bother me like it did when everyone else did it. She didn't just call me Judith. She would call me Judith Irene and she made it sound like I was important to her the way she always said it. She was so uppity ever day. You couldn't be sad around her. She would just make my day when she would arrive in the morning. She was so funny in ways that she just up lifted you all the time. She was just wonderful. We would go out to lunch if we had the chance sometimes. I would go out to lunch with her and Awilda and she was always so pleasant to be with and Awilda was too. She will be missed greatly. Her email or her answering machine annoucements were just so cute and cheery all the time. I will miss that about her and also seeing her face. She was so easy to please and get along with. May God rest your soul in his hands and may your spirits be with your family always.

Arlene and I share in the sorrow and grief as we try to come to terms with this tragedy. How much we loved Ann and enjoyed her company as Mary Beth's friend, apartment-mate and bridal attendant.



We know you, Herm and Dotie, know you to be a close, loving family grounded in faith. May your faith in God's grace and your love for each other sustain you in this dark time and give you hope of the Resurrection and the ever continnuing love God has for you and for Ann. Arlene and Dick Dallman

Anne, we will miss on both a business and personal basis. Your help, especially on a personal basis, was always greatly appreciated. Our prayers are with your family and I know we will meet again in that better place you are.

Oh my dear Ann - how you will be missed. You were always smiling, happy and a very good friend. I cannot believe I will not see you at the next Chamber Board meeting and what will I do without you at Riverfest? My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I know you are with the Lord now and very happy as always.
