Annie Laurie was one of the sweetest ladies that I have ever known. Always a smile on her face for everybody.
Even on her 100th birthday she greeted everyone by name and with her usual grace. I celebrate your life, Dear Annie Laurie.

Annie Laurie was my mother's next door neighbor for many years. They shared a special bond and spoke almost daily. They were both avid Memphis Tiger basketball fans. My mother passed away over seven years ago but Annie Laurie was always still a part of our family. I stopped by for a visit on her 100th birthday and that was a treat. We spoke on the phone a few weeks back and I was always grateful to hear her voice. She was a great neighbor and a special friend to my mother and my family. She will be missed but I know she is thankful to be with her beloved Lewis once again. Condolences to her family but know she had a very full life!
