Doug and I had the wonderful joy of meeting Annie while walking in our neighborhood. We always loved to visit with her and Dee. I always laughed at her love of BSU football!

Annie and Dee were special friends even after my separation with their daughter. I'm thankful that their granddaughter (my Kaysie) has such a rich family history. All my best to Dee and to the immediate family.
