Annie has been a blessing to me. One I will never forget. She has shown me the Love that I never thought existed. I’ve learned a great deal from her and the family. Love comes in many different ways but the one way that she showed it has always been the way that the Lord intended for it to be. To love unconditionally and to give from the heart and that’s truly what Annie did You’re always be in my heart and mind and I will see you one day when the good Lord calls me home Love you.

I will miss her more than words could ever say. I hope she’s having a blast up in heaven. As much as I’m in pain that she’s no longer here, I’m happy she’s not in pain anymore. She was an absolute angel, and anyone that was blessed enough to meet her and have her in their life would know that, too. There was not a single person I knew that disliked her in any way. She’s the easiest person to love in the world. Aunt Annie, thank you for making my life so much better. Thank you for always being there for us. I love you ❤️

Ann, my Spirit rejoices and my flesh is grieving.
I feel like a physical part of me is gone.
My heart aches like I think David did for Jonathan.
I told you that I’d be mad if God took you before He did me – I guess God wasn’t too worried about making me mad. LOL.
But I’m thankful He went ahead and called you home. Life had gotten too hard here for you.
I don’t need to pray for you anymore but I’ll love you forever. Your BFF, Jackie

I’m just saddened to hear of Anne’s passing. She was a fun lady when we worked cleaning condos back in 1987. We had about 15 people carpooling back and forth to work that summer. God bless her and all her family. RIP sweet friend.
