We are so sorry for Annie’s passing.
After 34+ years as neighbors and friends we are going to miss sweet Annie. She could always make us laugh with that twinkle in her eye as she told a story or dished on somebody who may have offended her good nature.
We shall miss her greatly and trust she will save us the lot next door to her in her new neighborhood.
May you RIP my loyal friend. Your wit and laughter will always be missed by me. Say hello to Lynda for me on your arrival with the Lord and His kingdom
Jenn/Jim I know you both already know how much Annie meant to me. I don’t really have the words for all the ways she blessed my life over the years I was privileged to know her. Wishing you both peace and comfort as you adjust to her absence. She will live on in your hearts always. I am only one of the many lives she touched over the years…she was one of a kind and this world will not be the same without her.
I had not seen Ann in years but still remember her great smile & personality from our school days in Arlington, TX
My condolences to all the family . Remember the good times.
