It was a honor to have met you and spend the time with you that I had. You always had kind words and a heart warming smile for everyone. Heaven received a angel. You are missed.

Annabelle was a gracious, kind-hearted and very generous woman. With her gentle manner and quick smile, it was always a pleasure to be in her company. Her gift of a magnificent Steinway piano to West Concord Union Church continues to give all of us joy every Sunday. Annabelle will be greatly missed by all of us who were lucky enough to know her.

Bill and family, I am sorry for the loss of your Mom as you know she was quite a lady. She will be greatly missed by many. She was a bundle of energy and an inspiration to many. I always enjoyed my chats with her; whether it had to do with the Visitors Center or just life in general.

Mrs. Shepherd was a kind and generous lady - beautiful on the inside and outside as well. All of her friends at the Concord Country Club will miss her and will remember her fondly.
