Dawn, we met at Annie's and my CHS 50th reunion in Memphis. Thank you so much for coming with Annie. She and I were good friends in high school, but our lives went separate ways for so long. We really enjoyed catching up that night. She was always such a sweet and kind friend. Losing your mom is a very hard part of life; my prayers are with you and your family. Bobbie

Annie was a delightful co-worker and friend. I always appreciated her sense of humor and her kindness to others. When I first moved to Conway and started working at the center she was friendly and very welcoming and continued to be that way. She will certainly be missed. Prayers for the family.

We all knew Danny and Annie for over twenty years; both were as fine as people could be. I was active in UCT with both of them, and my family and I especially enjoyed her Christmas treat (chocolate pecan candies). I even got the recipe from her one year! She really loved her grandchildren and would brag on Dawn at any occasion if you gave her the chance. Condolences to Sally and the family (Sally was family) and know that my family and I miss her greatly. We lost not a good angel, but a great angel. God Bless You Annie, you are much loved and missed terribly already.
