Merilyn, I am very sorry about Ms. Annie. Remember I talked to you and Ms. Annie at BoJangle in Ahoskie one afternoon? That was the last time I saw her. She was in good spirit and enjoying her meal while I was talking with her. I was told in Wal Mart by a friend that she had been in the hospital due to a fall in her home and was in the nursing home. I just found out about Ms. Annie’s death while looking at the News Herald on the internet while at home. Her husband used to work on my dad’s lawn mowers for many years. Merilyn, you have took good care of her and taking her to places for her enjoyment. I thought she was doing great for her age. I will remember you and your family in my prayer. God Bless. ~Donald Shores,mychev28@roadrunner.com, my webpage: http://donaldshores.com
