I feel like this is the only place where I can be 100% transparent and truly vent when it comes to you. I feel like my messages are going directly to you from here. You are such a sensitive topic for me…I can’t really talk to  anyone about you…Everyone keeps saying that w/ time, it will get easier…but honestly it hasn’t… I’ve just gotten better at hiding it… On a daily basis, I have to try so hard to be happy… I know you don’t want me hurting like this over you.. but I do.. it is what it is… You took a HUGE part of me w/ you when you left. A big hole was left in me, and now….FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS I have been trying to fill it w/ things I know I shouldn’t… it just hurts so bad not having you here…I try so hard to just give it to God and heal…but I’m struggling w/ letting you go.. I don’t want to… I’m scared of that pain…I honestly don’t know how much more I can take…… all this suffering in silence is literally killing me.. I can’t wait to be w/ you again💔…

6yrs Ago Today, My Heart Broke Into A Million Pieces .. and I’ve Been Stuck Ever Since Trying To Figure Out How To Function And Live Down Here w/o You…. I’ve Been Trying To Fill The Void Instead Of Healing and It Has Caused Nothing But Pain For Me.. I Keep Looking For The Feeling You Gave Me In Someone Else… I Know You Want Me To Live For Me Now.. But It’s So Hard… Just Know That I am Trying.. I Promise You…I’m Getting Help..Please Keep Watching Over Me Because I Need You More Than Ever Right Now💔.. I Hope You’re Resting Peacefully My Sweet Angel 😞👵🏽🕊️🪽…

Today makes 5yrs without you. Every single day is hard for me, but God gives me the strength to keep going… I’m trying with everything in me to be okay without you but it is so hard… I know I have a piece of you inside of me but I miss you so much.  I am going to continue to make you proud.. I have to. I need you to come visit me soon okay… it’s been awhile, and I’ve been patient.. I know you mean a lot to many and have a lot of people to visit, but I hope you’re close to circling back to me..

I personally never got to meet Mrs. Anne but she raised someone I’m very fond of. I can tell she was a great woman by all the lessons and values she poured into the young lady I met that she raised. Even though Mrs. Anne is no longer here with us in the physical form her values and teachings will live on forever through the many people she mentored and looked after. Continue to Sleep in Peace Mrs Anne cause you gave your Loved ones all the tools and guidance they needed to navigate life before you left this earth.. Happy Birthday Mrs. Anne❤️🕊

Anne you ARE A BLESSING!!! Though you are not with us physically, your spirit remains with us ALWAYS. All I know to say is THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU. My life forever changed and got better because of you . Thank you for LOVING MYA!!! as well all of my children, but the BOND that you and MYA have is priceless and I am GRATEFUL!!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OVER US.    R. I. H.   Love  Stacey

To the Family of Cora Ann Blackburn fondly known as Ann. 

Please know  that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I shall never forget Ann and her kind ways and love for Children.  I met Ann many years ago and we kept in touch even when she relocated to Williamsburg, Va.  She will be greatly missed by all who know and love her.

My greatest memory of Mrs. Blackburn was her love for children (her's as well as others).                                 
She shared as one of after school caregivers for my daughter "Bea" back in the day (now 46 yrs younger).                                 
Mrs. Blackburn was special/had a  "Unique" spirit in her own way,  Most times her vehicle always seemed to have children of all ages on board - which showed she didn't mind/loved her "kids".                                        
She left a legacy for her spirit will continue to live on.                                                                                                                                                                                             
Pray strength, peace and comfort for the family, friends and "special" ones.                                                      
With our love to you,  Diane (Lee) Taylor and family.

May your soul rest in the arms of the Lord Mrs. Anne.  Praying for God's peace and comfort for the family.  Sending my deepest condolences
