Dear, strong, sweet and lovable Annabelle. How you will be missed! You left such an impact on anyone who knew you. You were a friend to me in so many ways - a true inspiration, too. Your help at our church, Faith Baptist, your good cooking that was always evident at all of our potlucks, your thoughtfulness on the holidays for us all there will be greatly missed. Your work in our circle group, too, will be missed, as well as in the Columbus Association. You were a great organizer and a person much admired by myself and others.

My thoughts, prayers and condolences go to all of your family. We will see you soon!
