Wanted to send our condolences to the family. Had the absolute pleasure of working with Annabel at “Banzhof’s”, Joe Capps, whatever you wish to call it. It was always Home. Working with Daddy, my sisters, “Cissy” and Jen, was spending time with family, meeting, making and keeping some amazing friendships. Holidays were the most fun, we had our “Christmas Jars” with our names on them. Did we clean up? You bet we did. Annabel and Cissy always received the most tips, but, I’ll tell ya’ this, many a Christmas gift were purchased with the “loot” from those jars!! LOL!! You don’t get to meet so many good people at one place, and, all I can say is, what a blessing. Annabel, I wanted to say, thank you for being the best “sister from another” to our Cissy. I can hear you two laughing now. To the family, your mother was a beautiful soul, and it’s because she chose to be. That in itself was her gift to all of us. Rest In Power Annabel and thank you for sharing yourself and your time with us. Blessed Indeed.
The Williams Family. “Pidge”, (Daddy),🙏🏽 “Cissy”, Jen, “Ducky” (Charles Jr.), Charmaine, and Jo-Anna, our Mommy.
