Dear Rena, Peter and family,
We are so sad to hear the tragic news of Annie's passing. We have wonderful memories of Annie when she was a child and teenager and she amazed us with her talent as a musician. Annie's beautiful smile, contagious laugh and her vibrant and full of life spirit lit up the room, and I will always regret that I didn't get to know her better.
Our love and prayers are with you always.

We were so saddened to hear about your loss. Annie and Megan had shared numerous emails, and Megan looked up to Annie because they shared a deep love and appreciation of music. I think about this beautiful young lady who obviously had a very busy life, but who took the time to answer every email from a little kid. That told me how special she had to be. We hope you find comfort in knowing that Annie is in a beautiful place and is at peace. We are keeping you in our hearts and in our prayers.

Peter -- Just learned of the devastating news. I cannot imagine how much this must hurt. Our daughters are so strong and yet so fragile. It breaks my heart and I am not her father. My thoughts are with you and Rena and will be always.

Peter, Rena, & David: I only had the pleasure of knowing Anne as a little girl. I can remember her coming up to the office in her pretty little dresses and if I remember correctly, she sometimes had a little matching purse. She would always bring a smile to my face. I can tell from the photos that she continued to share her free spirit and beautiful smile with those around her. I was absolutely devastated when I heard of her passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Each of you will always have this beautiful angel watching over you. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

August 15, 2014

Dear Peter, Rena and family,

Extending deepest sympathy for you in your loss, and praying that comfort and peace may come to you.
Have hope in tomorrow, keep faith in the everlasting, and take comfort in the love of friends and family.
Hold on to your memories of Annie, and let them guide you and help heal you during this time of sadness.
May Annie's spirit continue to live on and on within your hearts.

It will be the little things that you remember - the shared moments, the smiles, the laughter, and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memory of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

Most sincere condolences,
The Danemans
