Our deepest condolences to your family. When we would mention Annabelle’s name to my mother, Betty Stinson she ALWAYS said “she’s such a nice lady “. Annabelle was a good friend and helped mom immensely. Her kindness will always be appreciated and remembered. After my mom passed she became a friend to our daughter as well. She will be missed and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My condolences to you Kathy and Mark and Karen and the rest of the family. I have such fond memories of your mom, Kathy. She always welcomed me into your household as if I was one of her kids. She was an awesome cook and I do remember those dinners! And Saturday clean-up days. I am so glad I was able to visit with her not too long ago, when she welcomed me in once again, but sad because I was hoping I could visit again.
