I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Ann. Although I worked in another department, I had the opportunity to interact with Ann many times over the years. She was such a warm and lovely lady and always so kind in giving help and sharing her knowledge. May God bless and comfort her family during this most difficult time.

Annie was always my go to person. I miss her so very much, and life will never be the same here without her. Each day that goes by I will be closer to seeing her again. She lived her life so full of love, and I will live by that example the rest of my days here. She was and is the best sister anyone could pray for.She will live in my heart foever. your sis Vickie

I have never known life without Annie. She was my cousin, my friend and fellow cancer fighter. We were 7 months apart in age and about the same time lapsed between our original diagnosis of cancer. She was a brave and valiant fighter who is at peace now and healed finally. We shared a lifetime of laughter, sprinkled with a few tears and treasured memories. She is only a breath away. Till Heaven,
Nina

I have known Annie for 24 years and she was a great friend. She had the most beautiful smile that I will always cherish about her. I will truly miss her may God continue to bless her family in there time of sorrow.
