My thoughts and prayers to Annie's family. My grandfather (Sidney Wiley Abel II) called his sister "Annie", to which she always corrected me as "it's Anne"! She & I had been writing over the last several years, about our genealogy, etc. She always had great stories to tell. I will miss our letters dearly.
