Annie , my special friend, brought sunshine wherever she went. She had a contagious smile and laugh. She had her own special way of making all of her friends and family feel special. I will always know I was one of the lucky ones to call Annie my treasured friend.

I worked with Ann when she was Assistant Principal and I was an office assistant. That lady kept me in stitches! I always looked forward to my work day and she was one of reasons! Prayers of comfort for her family and friends.
