Dear Family, I am so sorry for you loss – but rejoice with you all in Heaven’s gain. I know you will miss ‘Nanny’ very much – but sure you will walk the streets of gold with her one day! Treasure every memory you have. Talk of them often! Love you all! Kay
Willard & Girls, We were sad to hear of Annie’s death this morning. We have been friends for a lot of years and even though we haven’t seen each other as often as we would have liked for various reasons doesn’t mean that we want miss her and her wonderful ‘Carrot Cake’. She left us with wonderful memories. Love all of you. The Clement Family
