    Such a beautiful tribute to an amazing woman. My heart breaks for the family as her loss is certainly unbearable. Her life of loving n caring n sharing every ounce of herself is such a wonderful legacy to treasure. I feel so fortunate to have met her. I look forward to hearing many more Grannie Annie stories n love the impact she had, especially on her great-grandkids❤️
