To Wess, Janice, Sharon, Una, Madonna, The Field, Reardigan, and Dunlop families, to all Annie’s extended family, as well as to all who knew and loved her. It is hard to find words to tell you how much I’d like to be with you all today to share in the celebration of Annie’s graceful life and hug you all. Her faith was unwavering, so undoubtedly we have Another Angel to watch over us. She is gone to be reunited with her darling Howie and her beloved ones gone before her. As we let her go we take comfort they are waiting with loving arms.
We all know It’s going to be challenging to move on without her physical presence as she was a fierce force of goodness in our lives. To try and comprehend she won’t be there to share in everything whether it be joyful, or stressful, to confide in, to laugh and cry with right now, is unimaginable. To know we won’t hear’ ah get on with ya’ or ‘whatever blows ya dress up’ from her again is as well too unimaginable.
While we are so very sad and lonely right now as her abrupt departure had left us wondering how to manage without her input, one day the wonderful Memories we all have will
Leave us smiling yes…(at times through a tear) but nothing more than grateful for her love. I am so glad we got to spend quality and quantity time especially in her last years and so very thankful she chose to tell me very recently there was something she felt she wanted to say to me. She wanted me to know what I meant to her and I got to reciprocate. We both knew and agreed it didn’t NEED to be said but nice we did so. Not everyone gets this opportunity and there are times we don’t take advantage of that opportunity. She wouldn’t want any of you to risk that. She loved us all dearly. If we can journey on through her inspiration and carry her legacy of love, acceptance,and positively especially in challenging situations as she did, then we will make her legacy worthwhile. Will any of us ever see an elephant and not think of her? She carried herself with Such class and dignity yet so very humble at heart. God bless us all and If we were blessed enough to know and share in the love, compassion and fun with Annie Virginia Field, I think we are blessed enough!
