Dear Olivia - I was saddened to learn of your mother's passing. I know she was very special to you and you were devoted to her care. I remember meeting her at Cooper a few times and she seemed like such a sweet lady, just as you are!
Blessings to you and your family...

Dear Family
Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.
Ms. Annie was a very special Lady
When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it’s just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.
Thank you for sharing her with me.
