Missing you so much. Love you
Aunt Annie,
I just hung your School Shadow Box on my wall of our new home Saturday. Such memories I have of painting with water colors and all of the other art projects we used to do. I miss your ice blue eyes, but I constantly feel your presence in my life. Thank you for being our Angel.
Always in our hearts,
Richard Jennings, Kathy Varner Jennings, & Krystal
Aunt Annie will remain in our hearts. She set a Christian example for all of us to follow. I went to the family visitation hoping to give comfort and yet, I was comforted. Thank you Kathy for your comforting words; and to Louise, Bernis, Kathy, Keith, Kevin and your families, may God’s peace dwell in your hearts.
Annie will be missed by all those people whose lives she touched. There is not enough space to list all the adjectives to descibe her!
She will missed by us – we loved her dearly! She was like a Grandmother to me – no, she was a Grandmother to me.
She lived a full life and set an example most people can not live up to. She is wonderful.
We love you Annie!
Aunt Annie, you are a beautiful person that will be greatly missed!
Thanks to all Our Family and Friends, AMEN
ALTHOUGH WE ONLY KNEW AUNT ANNIE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, HER LOVE FOR OTHERS, FAMILY AND MOST OF ALL HER LOVE FOR THE LORD SHONE THROUGH BRIGHTLY. SHE ALWAYS HAD A WORD OF ENCOURGEMET, AND A SMILE FOR EVERYONE SHE CAME IN CONTACT WITH. IT WAS A HONOR TO HAVE KNOWN HER AND A BLESSING TO KNOW SHE IS CELEBRATING WITH GOD IN HEAVEN.

Just thinking of you…. Miss you very much !
As the years pass by in absence of you, the sweet, tender memories never fade. I miss you dearly and look forward to our heavenly reunion!
Holiday seasons are here again and we all miss you so much. I miss the wonderful times on the Ramsey Farm. They were the best years of my life.
Aunt Annie,
I just split the Christmas Cactus from the homestead for the first time. This is the only one I have ever seen with a wooden trunk. It has given the family many years of beautiful blooms which always brings us memories of you. Merry Christmas, Aunt Annie. You are so loved. See you soon!
