Their most difficult challenge to date has been the tragic untimely passing of Ann's mother, Barb Horvath. She has always been a strong stabilizing force in her family and it goes without saying that the bond between a mother and her daughter is like no other, like silk - both strong and gentle. Her passing has left such a hole in the hearts of all who knew her. At times throughout this process, it has been and will be difficult for Ann and Seth. It's impossible to predict when these moments will creep up - all we can do is honor that they will happen and move forward knowing that Barb is always with us, in our hearts and in Ann.
After this loss, Ann and Seth moved forward with determination - Ann completed her schooling, and received her degree. It was a time to celebrate!
The summer day was warm and bright. The family and friends gathered at a park for a picnic to enjoy each other's company and celebrate Ann accomplishment - or so they thought.
Once the party was going, Seth disappeared with a friend. What Ann did not know is that while she was working and going to school, he had been spending every possible moment restoring a car for her - a Porsche that she had said she would love to have "one day." As Seth pulled up the drive to the shelter, the look on Ann's face was priceless. Seth parked and got out of the car, walked over to Ann and handed her the key. He escorted her to her car, opened the door and instead of closing the door, he dropped to one knee and brought out a ring from his pocket. The look on her face this time ... Priceless!
So ... That's the short engagement story ... And here they are in their first engaged photo ❤️
