My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that was touched by and knew Annabelle. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She was always quite the "prankster"! I spent a lot of time with both her and Walt in the summers when I was younger. She will be deeply missed by all. No matter how bad she felt, she always had a smile on her face and was asking how everyone else was doing. I'm so glad I got to see her this summer at the reunion! Life truly is to short not to let your loved ones know that you care and to spend time with them.

Annabelle you were such a wonderful lady. I will miss you so much. I know you were watching & listening to the music today. It was a day filled with sunshine like you. Some day we will meet again. Until then rest in peace you earned it. Walt & all the family will be in my prayers. Love to you all.

Rest in peace dear Annabelle. I remember so much about the times when I was a little girl and we would come over with grandma & grandpa. You and grandma were always sitting around the table cutting up about this and that and I loved your spunk. I can still hear all the laughing some days when I listen really close. To us you will always be Aunt Annabelle! Tell Grandma & Grandpa I love them and miss them still so much.. also give that big handsome man of mine a squeeze. I'll miss you Aunt Annabelle! Love you Uncle Walt.. all the family will be in our prayers.
