We are so sorry for this loss to the family.

I have known Annabelle, Gabe, for over 40 years (Lynne for 20) in both a personal and business relationship.
There was never anyone better in personal honesty and care, in profesionalism representing her many years in
print sales & marketing, being such ‘a good person’than Annabelle, Gabe, and Lynne .

Words can not express the loss, nor would we expect them to express the emotion and grief, associated with the void left in
our lives. Grief is bittersweet as one feels an inner chasm inside. The empty feelings is comforting in strange ways. The emptiness in one’s heart is nothing but love ‘with no place to go’. Grief only exists where love first lived.

Our condolences. There is an age-old saying over milleniums where the Irish can not express with words and emotions, left
speechless, and can only say: ” Sorry for your (the family’s) troubles”.

I met Annabelle later in her life, and could immediately see that she was such an bright light and brought so much warmth and love to her family. It was such a pleasure to be able to meet and spend time with her. Extending my deepest sympathy to all who held her close.

Lynne,

We are so sorry for your loss. Losing a mother is a profound heartbreak, no matter how much time we’ve had with them. There are no perfect words in moments like these: only love, presence, and the reminder that you are not alone.

Your mother’s legacy lives on in you; the way you show up for others, the kindness and wisdom you bring to the world. We hope you find comfort in the memories, the love she gave, and the community that holds you close during this time.

Sending you strength, love, and our deepest condolences.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Adam and Ray
