To the family(s) of "Granny". I loved and still do love her because she was one of the sweetest ladies that I've known. I am a neighbor of Ann Marie and everytime "Granny" would come over she and I would always speak to one another. Thanks to the family that took care of her for the last years. I know GOD picked the most wonderful angel to watch over all of us. May GOD give the family(s) strength and courage to get through this sad time and wrap HIS MIGHTY ARMS AROUND EACH ONE OF YOU to keep you safe. RIP my lovely friend.
