I so hated to hear about Mrs. Annie! She will be greatly missed! We loved swapping stories about her cats and me and my dogs! Will miss her at lunch on Sunday as usually when I met my dad, she would be there too.
You all will be in our thoughts and prayers as I know how it is to lose a mom as I miss mine alot.
May God bless.
In Christian love,
Debra
