I'm so sorry for your loss. Annie worked for me in the Xray department. She was smart, diligent, and an excellent worker who loved her family. Now she joins the rest of her co- workers who have preceeded her in death. I will never forget her knitting sweaters as gifts. She was a lovely woman. May she rest in eternal peace- God bless.

We´ll surely miss her, she was a loyal & good friend to us. We met at the Navy reunion in 2007 in Va Beach & became good friends after that.
My prayers to the whole family.
