Dear Family,
Annie was a special woman. Always upbeat, maintained a ready smile and just made friends with most people she met. She worked hard and she loved her family. It was always a joy to receive news, with pictures, of what she was up to with them.
I worked with Annie at FW Dodge and later maintained contact through my partner, Tom French, her boss. Of course, her promotion of Avon was another means of our being in touch --- many a Boston homeless women have benefitted by Annie's advise to me on selecting Avon specials to make simple holiday stocking gifts.
I am sure that in the years to come, you will keep her spirit alive within your heart and among us, who knew Annie, and even introduce her to those who did not, through sharing stories of who she was and what great things she did, most importantly, loved life and lived it to the max.
May your sorrow at the loss of her physical presence become joyful when you know she is in a wonderful spirit world with other family and friends who have crossed over.
Sincerely, Donald

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
~Matthew 5:4
Why? That's what we ask. The truth is, we may never be able to know for sure why. But we do know that there is no single 'should have done' or 'could have done' or 'did' or 'didn't do' that would have changed the why.
All that love could do was done.
Annie was indeed a rare gem and an enriching soul to all those that knew her. Her compassion was boundless and she always sought the higher ground.
Weep not for her everlasting physical absence for she has transcended to God's realm and a new life everlasting.
I shall miss you Annie; We will meet again.

When Annie comes to mind, I see her smile and that twinkle in her eyes.
Thank you Annie for generously sharing your family through stories, emails and pictures.
Thank you Annie for being willing to lug the Avon and wait those extra minutes until I arrived.
Thank you Annie for making me a better person for having known you.

I was Annie's first boss at MBHP and I am so proud to say so. We all loved her. She was a very special person who touched all of our lives. She inspired us all with her strength through her illness and her dedication to continue to make her life "normal". I will miss her. My condolences to the family, but please take strength and solace in knowing how much she will be missed and how we will think of her every day at MBHP.

The litany of words that describe who Annie was and how much she affected the lives of all the people she encountered would fill not only this page, but volumes.
Like Carmen, I have known Annie from our days working together at F. W. Dodge, and, like Carmen, my sense of loss has been overwhelming. A gift in any life would be having an Annie to call your friend.
Annie was, and will continue to be a great gift for me, for Donald (my partner) and for Leslie (our housemate). We are blessed for having been able to share some part of our lives with her.
To the family she leaves behind go our heartfelt sympathy and prayers --- knowing that the burden of their loss is shared by so many people will, I hope, bring some sense of peace to all.

As we all know God always chooses the best. Take comfort that she is at peace, and that she is not alone but with the rest of our departed family members (Ma, Donnie, Dominque, Miguel, and Charles.)
Blessed be,
C.C. and family

Annie was a terrific person and I am going to miss her very much. She was great to work with because she was always happy and upbeat. Work will not be as nice a place without her.

I have a great loss. I lost my special co-worker and also my friend.
I met Annie 1980 since then Annie was part of my best friends. She was very talented, bright, understanding and herself.
At work, she loved to share her knowledge with the co-workers and that make her feel very happy.
When she was not feeling well, I encoraged her to see the doctor. She went to see the doctor, when she knew about her desease, she called me crying, but after that she handled her desease even her body was weaker and weaker she was stronger and stronger without showing any emotion about it.
Annie has gone but her memories stay with me for ever.
My condolences are for all the family.

I have worked with Annie during her almost 10 years at MBHP. She was such a caring, wonderful person. She will be sorely missed by all her coworkers. I extend my deepest sympathies to her family. Work just won't be the same without her.
