I'm very sorry to report that
after a long and courageous battle against cancer, my co-coordinator on this website and friend
Ann Heisler has passed away. Ann was a vibrant spirit. She was
an extremely dedicated volunteer for the Calhoun County Genealogy
Society, working on several projects including cemetery
publications, transcription projects and serving as editor of our
outstanding newsletter. Ann was a computer whiz, and took many of
our projects into a new level of technical proficiency. She will be
greatly missed not only for her contributions to CCGS and this
website, but for her
kindness, her lovely smile, and her passion for excellence. Our
thoughts and prayers go out to her husband Kim and the rest of her
family and friends. Her
