We were sorry to hear of Annie's passing. She was a beautiful little girl and we are sure she's an
even more beautiful little angel. Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time. God bless
you and your family and all those who had the honor and privilege of meeting your little Annie.
Sincerely, Dana Buddemeier (Megan's mom)

My thoughts are with your family at this time. You were truly blessed to have an angel as precious
as Savannah. I never met her but have been following your story in the paper, and I never saw a
picture where she didn't have a beautiful smile on her face.

To the Kelly Family. I keep you in my heart and thoughts. I have prayed for Savannah since I found
out about her illness. She was a beautiful, brave little girl. God blessed you with an angel. She
touched a lot of hearts of people that did not even know her. I pray for you to have strength in
healing your loss.
Kelly, I went to elementary school with you. My heart aches for you and your family. Please

your loss. On April 12, 2002 I wrote a poem and I would like to dedicate my poem to "Annie", if I

window and got out of bed and went out side and called to Jesus, Wait.....Jesus Jesus....Wait:
(name of the poem) WAIT JESUS, WAIT
WAIT.....JESUS JESUS....WAIT HERE'S A LITTLE PACKAGE I ASK OF YOU TO TAKE
WAIT.....JESUS JESUS....WAIT THIS IS MY LIFE FORGIVE ME,NOT FORESAKE
WAIT....JESUS JESUS...WAIT TEACH ME TO LOVE AND NEVER TO HATE
WAIT.....JESUS JESUS....WAIT I'M REACHING OUT TO TOUCH YOU PLEASE, DON'T
HESITATE
WAIT....JESUS JESUS...WAIT SUCH AN HONOR TO KNOW YOU NOW I KNOW YOU HAVE
SEALED MY FATE
WAIT....JESUS JESUS...WAIT I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR BEING MY SANCTIFIED
MATE
COME MY PRECIOUS CHILD FOR I HAVE HEARD YOUR CRIES SO MEAK AND SO MILD SO

My thoughts a prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Eventhough I only took care
a Annie a couple of times, she touched my life in an incredible way. We will definiately miss her
beautiful smile and princess night gowns brightening up our floor at Bronson. She will never be
forgotten!

Dear "Fifi Doodle" - I'm so saddened by Annie's passing - I hope you and your family can
eventually find some peace.
Little child, it's time to rest, Lay your head on Heaven's breast.
Though your stay on earth was brief, A tiny soul knows sweet relief.
No "why me?" or grown-up pity, Pictures keep them young and pretty.
But a child can understand, When God extends his gentle hand.

I know of Annie through her Aunt Joan Phillips. Joan keep me informed of Annie's progress at the
Camelot Pool. She brought a beautiful picture of Annie last year. I want to offer my condolences
to your family. I agree she is dancing with the angels.

The Kelly Family: Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Annie. She was a very
brave little girl and Matt and Kelly are even braver for all their endless hope, continuing love and
encouragement in their efforts to get their baby well. Others of us who have never had anything
like this touch our lives can only imagine the heart strings that get pulled with each passing day
that hope dwindles.
Matt, Kelly, and girls -- we pray for you and know Annie will be waiting for all of you and all of us
to see her again ..... later.
