Cookie:

It is never easy to lose someone who has been in your life for as long as you can remember and more.

The only support we have is to always keep those memories close to the heart and smile at the wonderful lady Annie was and will always be in our hearts.

Annie and you are my family. You both kept Erika and me under your wings. No better support was ever felt by anyone and I will always love you both for that.

Annie will be truly missed.

Doug, Jana, Grace, Erika and Steven

Dear Rudy:

I know that no words can make amends for the great loss you have sustained. I deeply realize that expressions of condolence wholly fail to restore the loved and loss one, yet I can not hope that the heartfelt sympathy of a sincere friend will not deem intrusion on your grief.

It has been well said, that "we weep for the loved and lost because we know that our tears are in vain." I would ease your sorrow, and yet know not how. We can only acknowledge that the inflection is Gods will. Over in the beautiful land to which I trust Annie has gone, we may not doubt, she is free from the pains that she so long endured here: and when we gather at the river, is it not sweet consolation to think that among the loved and lost she may meet you on the other side? Commending you to Him who does all things well, I remain, in the tenderest friendship.

Your Sincere Friend,

HANK HOLT
