God saw that she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around our dear Annie Mae and whispered "come to me."

With tearful eyes and heavy hearts we mourn her. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands came to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. Andre and Shelia just wanted to let the family know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
