To my second family growing up,
There are not enough word to express what a wonderful person Annie was! To me she was a loving, caring, kind second mom. She loved to share her memories, laughs, and especially food with others! (Tom still enjoys making her stuffed articokes!) I only have special memories for a special person! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Beth
