Has it been that long since she passed? I spent several years as her neighbor and enjoyed those morning walks with her. She was always hard to keep up with her. She was too fast for me. She had the best stories and both Barbara and I loved being with her. Miss those years, those friends and those walks. My best to the family, she is sorely missed.

To Mr. Matthews and the rest of the family Mrs. Annie B will truly be missed. She was such a sweet person and I appreciate her for everything she has done fo rme and my family since we moved to Jacksonville. She was always such a kind person, always willing to help in whatever way she could. She wore many hats including driving instructor, babysitter, neighbor, and friend! May she rest in peace and may God comfort you all in your time of grief.

To the Family of Mrs. Ann,
As a child I remember her being a very nice, always ready to lend a helping hand person. She used to sit right next to my aunt (Sis. Dolores Dixon.) I also remember her being the church clerk. She would always be dressed for whatever the occasion especially our black history celebration. I jus wanted to share those memories of her and let u know, that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal! Your family will be in my prayers.

Gwen Mathis and Family,
May the wonderful memories that you have of your mother, in some small way, bring you comfort in the days and weeks to come. I will remember you in my prayers, as others will and may God continue to bless and keep you.

Sometimes it's hard to understand why some things have to be,
But in His wisdom, God has planned beyond our power to see.
So looking back in tenderness along the path we trod,
Cherish the years you had with her, and leave the rest to God.

To the family, we extend to you our deepest sympathy during your time of bereavement.

~Inell Washington, Cherelle Winn, Rodney Winn, Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church
