oh ok. I just didnt know. I never had the opportunity to meet Annie but used to read her posts when she was more active on here. I just wanted to know if she was close by, because if she was, I would certainly attend the funeral.
Jack, please keep us posted on the family, especially her daughter. I can't imagine how hard this must be for her
Hadn't been on the computer or madjacks for about 4 days and I come back to see this. All I can say is I am completely shocked. Completely shocked. Annie was always extremely nice to me even when I was going through a lot of shit. She was always supportive. I met her once but talked in the old chat room, aim, and via e-mail a lot back in the day when I was a young stupid punk on here (lp7slip or lockport7). She always gave me support and guidance even at times when I wouldn't listen. I learned a lot from her.
Jack if there is anything I can do please feel free to e-mail. Also when you get service information I'd like to get the address.
I'm still in shock of this. Annie will be missed but not forgotten. Those at MJ's will miss her presence dearly. It's a very sad day.

Deeply saddened. Remember some great times at the MJ Superbowl party.
Remember how proud she was of a little league team in her area going to the World Series? Just one example of her big heart, caring about everyone.
RIP Annie

Was shocked when I checked my fb pae today, the whole day i just kept thinking about the time she stayed at our house and how much fun we had for 2 days. Her and jerri really tore the town up. KC she was very proud of that LL team. I jumped on with her from out here helping her meet her goal she sent my dad a shirt and hat it was great. I talked with her over the years last time was a few months ago 3 or 4, then did not see her or get any notes from her on fb for about 2 months or so, thought she was busy or something then read a note on fb when i went in today just shocked, she was a great and very fun person.
The day has really been a down day she could always bring a smile to a persons face. just does not seem right, and her children will need help, she worked very hard to give them all she could.

I met Mama at the last official superbowl party when the colts beat the bears, didn't talk much to her, but could tell she was well liked and knew her stuff in the brief conversations I had with her.
She will be missed, and has to be rough on her 17 year old daughter for sure

Too much pain in the world,
things like this brings it right
to your,our front door, I never
had any interaction with her, but
it trully is a sad moment when a
family member passes on.

I had the pleasure of meeting Annie at the 2007 MJ Super Bowl party in Vegas. Just like her posting persona, in person she was a very vibrant lady and I really enjoyed getting to know her a little better.
Mama will definitely be missed here at MadJack's and my thoughts are with her family during this time.
