Annie was the most sweet woman, so
lovely. I had the privilege of knowing her from Cleveland, I also sat in front of Ann and Bob in church every week. When I took my walk Ann and Bob would be sitting outside and I always stopped to talk. Will miss you forever, Annie. Your neighbor and friend,

My condolences to the family. My mother was from Grassflat and knew the Petkac family well. I had the pleasure of working with her husband Bob at Muny Light for many years. I never met a kinder couple that Annie and Bob. Annie always had the beautiful smile, She saw goodness in everyone she met. The lights are burning brighter in heaven today, our loss is heaven’s gain.

Marylee, Not sure if you remember me, but would love to get in touch with you after so many years. So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. My dad passed just 2 months shy of his 96th birthday. So we were both blessed to have them in our lives for so long. Hope you have been well.
