My heart is sadden as I write this to the family of Annie, she was one of a kind. When not f eeling well herself , she took the time to call me and see how I was doing after my surgery. She was loved by all who knew her. Her "face" will forever shine each time I use of her tags. We love you Annie.

My heartfelt sympathy to Annie's family. I never had the pleasure of meeting or talking to her in person, but we shared emails back and forth. I too was a member of her tag group and I still have the ones she made for me and two of my grandkids. She was such an upbeat lady and when I heard of her illness, it was a sad day. She is in Heaven now, watching us all share our stories and love for her.

Annie is definately snickering at all of us as was said...........She was a pistol!
Always a happy face onilne always willing to send me tags and love!

My heartfelt condolences to Tom, Dan, Noreen, and the rest of the family. Dom and I sure had our times!!! We spent hours on the phone, traded MANY emails, recipes, tags, etc.

It was a very sad day when I learned she was no longer with us - having heard she was doing so much better.

So, Dom - I know you're listening, probably snickering, too..... I will surely miss you and all of your wonderful thoughts. I'm including a picture you made of Kevin and me - you were SO talented.

Take care up there.....love you....

Annie's bright light will always shine. She brought such love and joy to everyone she touched and will be sorely missed. I lived in SE Louisiana until recently and enjoyed being a member of her internet groups. Heaven's new member will keep them entertained and loved.

You live in my Heart & prayers

You are someone who will live in my Heart for ever.Even though we never came face to face , we shared alot in E'mails, some funny, some sad.But you always gave me motherly advice and I thank you..May God's love Shine upon you until we all meet one day.God's Blessings to you and your Family who like us will miss you deeply..

We will all miss Annie! I was also in her internet group and was saddened to hear she was ill and now has passed on. God bless all of her family as you adjust to this loss.

Annie and I met in the Food Chat room and this is how she said she pictured seeing me, a happy, smiling cook.

Annie, how deeply you will be missed. Your generous nature and giving spirit was a tribute to the gracious lady you were. I was delighted to be a member, not only of your tag group, but also your prayer group. You were a very unselfish person in all you did, and it was my pleasure an delight to help and assist you in any small way I could. You became our own 'Maxine'.

Heaven will be a richer with your smiling and shining face.

My deepest condolences to Annie's family. I was a member of her Internet tag group so never met Annie in person but she left an indelible mark on my heart. She was a sweet, unselfish lady with a wonderful sense of humor. She is undoubtably a favorite with the angels in heaven as she was with the people whose lives she graced with her friendship and humor on earth. God bless you, Annie.

My condolences to the family of Domenica. I will always have the memories of all the ways that Dom touched my heart. Sharing a recipe, telling a joke, shedding some tears, sharing a secret or two, helping her with computer problems, sharing of each other in ways that I always considered Dom to be like a sister to me. I will miss her tremendously.

Sue Proctor

April 18, 2008

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Dom and I had our good times, our bad times, we laughed, we cried, we argued, we made up, we told each other jokes & juicy secrets. Dom, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get an email from you in heaven, just so you don't miss anything. Take care. You will be missed. You were loved by many and those that didn't care, don't matter anyways

To Annie's Family...I did not have the pleasure of knowing Annie in person, only through being a member of her head tag group.
Annie was such a lovely Lady, using her time and effort to create such fun head tags for all of her members.

I was so sorry the day Annie e-mailed she was ill, and must sadly refrain from making tags any longer. It is with a very heavy heart to learn she has passed into Eternity.

You (Annie's Family) are in my thoughts and prayers. May our Lord be with you during these very sad days in your life, to have the strength to carry on. Annie will be greatly missed.

Oh Annie, How I miss you!! I met you through Moody. That's a day I will never forget. I looked forward to each and every tag you created for us. I still have them all and will always keep them. You were and are a blessing to us all. God Bless You, Annie. You're missed! I'll never forget the night you IM'd me. That was such a special night for me.
We shared so much. God Bless your family during their time of grief. May all the good memories of you comfort all who knew and loved you. I know you are creating in Heaven now. See you there one fine day. Much love

She is my angel now

Grandma was an amazing woman, she taught me how to cook and was always there for us, we never had an empty tummy and when we had no money she made sure are tummy's were full and Christmas was bright for her grandchildren. She was a giving and loving grandmother, and I wish I would've found more time to spend with her. She will be missed. I love you Grandma

I was sorry to learn of Annies illness and return Home... She and i shared quite a few confidences during our 'on-line' get togethers, and in the chat room.
I'm certain she'll be greatly missed by all her family, and those who knew her, even remotely, as I.

What can a person say about Annie. Without ever meeting her you just learn to love her. She had a special way about her and was so warm and friendly with all in her face tag group. I will always have all the tags she made me as a remembrance of her. May God bless her and all her loved ones through these trying times. She will be missed very much.

April 17, 2008

My brother and I are seeking to send notes of thanks to those involved in her online groups that are posting here. Our mother had many friends that we had never had the pleasure of meeting.

Please email me with some contact information for those groups that she participated in. My email address is [email protected]

Thanks in advance,
