Dear Peggy, Paula and Pete and your families; I am so sad to hear of Annie's passing but am so grateful for having the best neighbor possible. Annie helped with my bug collections, comforted me when I got walloped playing tackle football with the boys, encouraged us in whatever we pursued or correcting us when we were out of line. I was thinking of her the other day when I was ironing before I heard this, I remembered her actually using starch! She was a true homemaker and her house was full of love and laughter. She raised wonderful children and I was fortunate enough for Pete to be my best buddy through early childhood. Miss you all. My mom and I send our deepest sympathy and will always fondly remember your mom and mine sitting on the back step when actually talking to people in person was the social network.
Love,
Joycie (Pest) Kerley
