Aunt Annie,
I didn't say I Love You near enough but I truly did love you! I spent a lot of time at your house, hanging around with Brenda & you were always so loving & supportive. You & Uncle James always welcomed me to your home & I cherish the memories of the times that I spent in Arkansas on vacation. Remember the time that you loaned me your car? I could have been 3 states away but you knew that I wouldn't do that, right? You did laugh however when I told you about the time I got lost in Walmart, although you have to admit, that was funny! My life was blessed by having you in it. You were loved & you will be missed. With love, your niece (Al & Betty Helton's daughter) Cassie Helton
