Goodbye Annie.

Sad to tell you that our dear friend Annie has died. Above is a photo of her looking well and happy with that beautiful smile and this is how I will remember her.She was an amazing friend and like a mother to me, so caring, loving, giving of the likes I had never experienced.My husband and I are terribly devastated by the loss.We are attending Annie's funeral on Wednesday and although it will be a very emotional day, It will be nice to say goodbye and meet some of her many, many friends that she had that also loved her dearly.It will be a chance to celebrate her life and what she meant to us all. I have never ever lost anyone I really cared about, this is all so new and strange. I still feel I am going to see her again but at the same time I know that isn't the case, not in this life anyway. She was not in great health and in pain, so I am very glad that she will be in a better place right now, although I wish we could have gotten her well and that she would have been with us for a much longer time. Annie, you gave me so much and I am so grateful for every minute I was will you, love you always.
