I’m so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom (Annie). She was certainly the soul of the family. I was blessed for a time to be on the receiving end of her kindness and hospitality. There was always room for one more. May your memories bring you comfort during your loss. My thoughts are with you all.
We were saddened to hear of Annie’s passing.. She was a very sweet lady that welcomed all who drove into that yard to hang out at Derek’s garage. You couldn’t leave that yard until you said good-bye to her .
Good-bye Annie. You will be missed.
