I know Annie from bunco and I loved her. She was a very sweet lady and I always enjoyed being with her. I was thrlled when she brought me one of her beautiful flower arrangements and I will treasure that.

We had a group of ten of us we called the gang. We would go out together for holidays, birthdays and just any day. Annie always had gifts. She was the kindest, most caring and creative person. Easy to be with and easy to talk to about anything. Her Flower arrangements had to be perfect. We will miss her so much. Jerry and Bess
Thank you, Bess and Jerry! Our mom found a special group of friends and we appreciate the love you had for her.
Annie was part of “The Gang” that my parents Adrian and Pat was/are a part of. I was blessed to have met her and her husband Rudy . She was always so sweet and kind and always asked about my kids as they got older. I cherish knowing everyone in that Special Group called “The Gang”
