Our family was blessed with a truly remarkable woman. If we are all lucky enough to live such a full and loving life, we'll have made this world a better place. I know I speak for all of us when I say she was truly one of God's greatest gifts. You will be greatly missed Aunt Annie. Be at peace.

To Anthony,Johnnie and Annie,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers on the passing of your beloved mother. I remember all the good times that we had in that little house down the hill. I also remember the golf balls thru the
picture window . Those were days worth remembering , I also remember the long chats with your mother and smelling her good cooking coming up the hill. I know she is now at peace in heaven after 103 unbelievable years here. My thoughts with all of you and your families..
