Some of her favorite stores were Dillard’s and Macy’s, just to name a few. She was one of the sweetest and kindest woman this world has ever known. She enjoyed raising her children and was heavily involved in all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s lives. She loved and disciplined them all. Despite our pain today, we would like to remind all family and friends in attendance; there is a time and a place for everything…… Ecclesiastes 7:1-4 reminds us…… A good reputation is more valuable than costly perfume, and the day you die is better than the day you were born. Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies, so the living should take to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool only thinks about having a good time. Amen! Annie G departed from this world a Godly woman with a good reputation and lived her life as one who is wise and knew this day would come. We should all do the same. God bless you all!
