My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Dear David, Jeremiah and family,
I am so saddened for your loss. Annie was my dear friend and mentor. She coached me in my career path but more important, she was a caring and loving friend. Her love and beauty will forever be in your heart. Rest in peace beautiful Annie.

I met Annie on one of my first days working on a new career that I was unsure about. Upon our meeting, I knew I was in the right spot because of the type of person I was working with. It was Annie. She made me want to work in medicine. I had met a brave and kind soul. We were instantly connected. She immediately grabbed my attention because of her grace, her beautiful conversation and her kind eyes. I am so sorry that the world has lost one of the best humans I've ever had the pleasure to know. A kind, gentile, yet powerful and positive woman. I hope she's in a place where her beauty is appreciated inside and out and there is no more pain. Annie, I think about those kind eyes everyday. Rest in peace my sweet new friend.

I went to grade school with Annie and lived across the street for a time. Many memories of playing outside on Washington St. , riding our bikes to the library, and sewing with Annie's mom. So sorry for your loss.

To Annie's Family,
I was blessed to work with Annie for a short time at the AAOS. She had the gift of gab, and we hit if off pretty quickly. Whenever the stresses of the day set in, it was great to be able to stop by Annie's office or have her stop by mine, so we could share a laugh or two. Annie was a naturally talented writer, and I was lucky to have assisted her with a few of her special projects. I always admired her courage in the face of illness, and she always encouraged me as I faced my own health challenges.
Rest in peace now, Annie. No more worries. Heaven had a place waiting for you, I'm sure.
May God bless and comfort Annie's family with beautiful memories, now and in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Holly Johnson

Dear David and Jeremiah and family - Your "Annie" will be remembered as a bright and beautiful star, floating through the universe and floating inside of all of our hearts combined.
Her unique, bold, yet gentle spirit touched each person that she encountered in her life.
She was a warrior and remains a warrior!
With much love, Holly

I had the pleasure of getting to know Annie during the last few years as we were co-heads of a volunteer committee at HBA. From the start Annie made a big impression on many people. Her enthusiasm, energy, attitude, and perserverance were amazing. and she made a big impact in a short time. She opened up doors for others and touched many in our organization. My heart goes out to her family and we will miss her.
