Annie has and will always have a special place in my heart. We became friends early in high school. She was the type of friend that was warm and comfortable. We have so many special memories. She was my maid of honor in my wedding, and I was hers, so that should tell you how close we were. Of course, we both moved out of Geneva so we didn't see each other as much as we would have liked. But whenever we talked it was always a reconnection with each other. I will never forget the love I have for this beautiful girl and her lovely family. I have been having a real hard time with this loss and can't even imagine how hard this is on her loving family. The loss of this special friend will never get easier, we just learn how to cope with this sadness. My love, thoughts, and prayers go out to this wonderful family. I am a better person for knowing and loving my Annie.
