From the moment we met we hit it off and could talk for hours. When I needed a place to stay you opened your home to me and helped me pack up my belongings and move them as well. We have cried together and laughed together and no matter how long the time in between we could pick right up like no time had passed at all. You were the rock to so many people and never asked for anything in return. Thank you dear friend for everything you have done for me and everyone else you will be missed. Love you and rest easy now my friend.
You was a really good friend to me I trusted you with my children and grandchildren and never not once did you let me down. You was always there no matter what you will be greatly missed rest easy my friend and dance with the angels.

Anne will always be a grandmother to me she’s always been there for me since I was born. She’s always been there for me no matter what especially when my nana passed away she helped my mom raise me into the woman I am today and I will always be so grateful to have her part of my life and I know she will always be looking after me. She had the most loving and beautiful heart and soul she will never be forgotten by me or my mom who loves her with all her heart and is so torn up about this but we know she’s in a much better place with god. I love you so much my beautiful angel 🪽💗 rest in paradise beautiful 🕊️❤️
My beautiful sister had a heart of gold. Always willing to help someone. I’m going to miss her so much. Fly high. Annie, rest in peace. Give our mama a hug for me. Love your baby sister
