Truth is... Aunt Annie always provided a sense of normalcy, truth, peace, and comfort for me in an otherwise difficult and desperate early upbringing. Controversial to say? Perhaps. I will forever be grateful for the beautiful memories I have cherished since, of Summers spent in Luddington, Michigan and time in Downers Grove, and the kindness you extended with an open and loving heart. I hope you receive this message, Aunt Annie, and know how much you and your family truly affected my life in the positive. To reiterate the words of my brother, Mike, and my sister, Vicki, "may (you) be eternally joyful in (your) new home, and "sending hugs to all of you and hoping we can stay in touch". God Bless Uncle Jeep, Sharon, Jeff, David, Jan, Nancy, Steven and ALL of the extended Peterson families. Rest In Peace, Annie Peterson, I love you. - Laura Anne Phillips
