Sis Annie, it's been exactly one month ago today that God called you home. We are still very emotional over losing you so unexpectedly. Thoughts of you bring both sadness and happiness. Amongst us siblings we have a missing link - YOU! Our lives will never be the same. ❤ We miss you so much sis. ❤❤❤

My dearest and loving sister Annie,

My heart is still aching of the thought of losing you. I still can't believe that you are gone. Every time reality hits I break down to pieces. I think back of the last time we spoke. How excited I was getting to seeing you soon. Then the call comes in that you were gone. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and went into shock crying all night yelling why. Till this day I break down like right now.

My sister I miss you so much. The thought of never seeing or talking to you again breaks my heart. I will miss the days we talk before I go into work. Your face on the other side of the screen talking about plans getting all together because we are getting older and some sick.

Well my sister you brought us all together in a bittersweet way. Our hearts are all broken and hurt. But we were all in one place together after 17 years. Mom always wanted that and you did it.

I love you my sister. I will see you again. As the days passes I still hurt my pain will be there for a long time so please understand if you see me break down and cry.

You are close to heart and I will always keep you close to me. RIP my sister till the day we meet again. I love you my sissy.

I love you brother John and children (Johnny Phil Joey Gerald Keith Brian Anne and family) . You all will forever be in my heart. Family forever.❤❤❤

Auntie Annie
As each day passes without you here, I begin to miss you more and more. It's been so hard trying to accept that you're really gone. I've had trouble finding the words to say to You, I've been trying to process it all but saying my goodbye until I see you again, just makes it so real. I pray that Uncle John, Philip, Gerald, Keith, Brian, and Anne Marie will find comfort in knowing that you're with grandma, grandpa, JoAnne, and all our loved ones who have passed before you. I love you and miss you so much Auntie Annie. May you Rest In Heaven

P.S. Thank you for helping me learn to pray The Rosary again. I've also taught my children through you.

You're forever in my heart!
Love Always Your Niece Bennette

Our heart felt condolences to the Duenas and Dahilig family. Ms Annie was such a good friend who was kind hearted and had a gentle soul. Her love for her family and friends was very evident in the way she lived her life and how she is sorely missed by very many. Rest in peace Ms. Annie. We are praying for the comfort of the family and may you all be surrounded with God's love during this time and always.

My Dearest Auntie Annie,

Even till this day, I cannot fathom that you have left us. Your beautiful smile, the sound of your laughter and voice will forever be imprinted on my heart. The last time I saw you was at Uncle John's 80th Birthday party and even then I did not get to spend time with you. I did have the chance to say hello and kiss your cheek, I'm so glad for that. I still catch myself tearing up and having moments that seem uncontrollable. I miss you so much!!!

I think about my sorrow and I know it is nothing compared to what my Uncle, my Cousins, or her Siblings are going through. The loss of a spouse, mother, sister is nothing I have endured. Hoping that day never comes and knowing it's inevitable is heart wrenching. I pray that they find comfort and strength and always know that we are here for them.

Family gatherings are surely going to be different from now on but we know you'll be there in spirit. Thank you for the great memories all of these years. You were the epitome of FAMILY. You and Uncle John always showed up. We tell you when an event was going to happen and you made sure you were there. And if that event was going to fall on a day you weren't able to make it, you would even request that event be moved to another date. That's who you were. A person so loving and caring and devoted to family and friends who became family.

I am thankful for the time Our Father has given us with you. He has called you home and we must now continue to live this temporary life keeping your memory alive and remembering to share our love with the Family that we have here. Until we meet again, my dear Aunt. I love you!

Sis Annie - Day 32 since our Lord called you home. I, as others, are still in shock, grieving and mourning because of your unexpected passing. Friends and some of our love ones tell me that I am strong and to remain strong, and for the most part I have been. When I am at home that is when the tears start to flow freely and my heart cries out for you. I feel like I am in a trance ...

I know your are in a much better place and one day we will join you in heaven. But, for now as you always like to say life must go on and be happy. You will forever live in your children, grands, great and us all.

We are missing you, big sis but we are also happy in knowing that you are now with mom, dad and all are beloved ones. Thank you Lord for 66 years of blessings with our beloved Annie. I love you always.

May the Perpetual light shine upon you and all the faithfully departed. May you all RIP. +++
❤❤

Sis Annie's quiet sweetness remains in my heart. One who accepted me and treated me like family since I met her. I am better for having known you and blessed by your family- I pray for their comfort and peace, and for the love experienced when everyone was gathered together to rule in all our hearts for all our lives.

Sis I wasn't going to post anything on line because I did not feel strong enough to write my goodbye letter until we meet again.

Missing you so much sister Annie. As I sit here alone looking at this beautiful Christmas tree you put up, my heart aches as it is broken in two. It's so quite without you here.

It aches for our family because I know we are all hurting and grieving your loss. You have been more than a sister you have been our Rock, best friend and mother since our mommy passed.

It aches for my brother John and my niece and nephews because they are going through the loss of you. And there is nothing I can do to stop the hurt.

My heart also hurts for all the friends that have become family as we will not have you here in our every day lives.

I love you now and forever.

Your sissy Gwen

To all my siblings, know that I love each and every one of you❤❤❤
