Annie touched everyone that she encountered , she always had time to do the extra for not just her family but the job making sure her residents were comfortable and the making sure her co-workers needed help. Annie and I would have personal conversation were she would give me advice are even a shoulder to cry on I can go on and on about just how loving Annie was Brook she often talked about you she was so proud of the woman you grew up to be ❤️ To the family know that Annie is ok now and she’s smiling down at all of us May God continue to comfort you all 😘🙏🏽
