It is reality that few people understand 'why' this would happen. You hear things like: 'God has a bigger plan', or 'she's in a better place'. It's hard to keep your faith, when something like this happens to an extraordinary young lady. The sentiments are nice, but often fall on 'deaf ears'. Annie was funny, caring, proud. A wonderful daughter, friend, sister (Alpha Gam's) and dance partner.
She will be missed, but if you believe the sentiments above, then this tragedy does not have to 'make sense'. It should motivate you...live every day, laugh as hard as you can, think of others first, dance like there's no tomorrow. Annie loved to perform dances at competitions that were self-depricating, but brought laughter to everyone who has ever seen her dance and she loved that. Live like Annie, carry her torch. And every chance you get...make your voice heard when it comes to Drunk Driving! One voice can start a song; Annie would want you to sing! Our family is praying for your family, and for all who were touched by Annie's joy. Angels will watch over you. God be with you...Julie A. Curry
