To Terry, Frances and Jimmy,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Annabelle was a wonderful friend and I will miss her greatly. She and I had many good times together and I have missed those for a long time. Living in Marion prevented me from seeing her as often as I would have liked to, but it didn’t stop me from thinking of her. I will always have many fond memories of her. Our love and condolences to all of you.
We did not have the pleasure of knowing Annabelle personally since we’ve just recently found this part of our family. We do know Annabelle’s sister Francis Koon and their brother Jim Ballard. They and their families have our deepest sympathy. We are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
