A special tribute written below

Annette M. Cummings Griffith was such a unique flower

She was able to bloom in any kind of weather

What a beautiful friend mother sister aunt cousin grandmother

The void she has left leaves you to wonder

For everyone present knows of her cheerful spirit

And how in gatherings we smiled at her wit

Annette was much more than a caregiver

Her parents looking down know she was an extra ordinary daughter

The love that she shared with both parents

Is far beyond any spoken compliments

As for her siblings she went beyond the call of duty

To each of them she must have pledged loyalty

What do you desire from one you call a friend

Her walk was guaranteed with you to the end

Abounding in patience goodness and kindness

Our sister cared about everyone’s happiness

She always had something big or little to offer

And was very vocal if with you she had to differ

For everyone she encountered there was a good advice

Which you better accept as it had to suffice

So many memories you shared in her friendship

Not to mention those who had a closer relationship

In her own way for many she laid a foundation

As a teacher in her own right she believed in Education

Our sister was sincere as she was humble

She has left us a legacy by her example

She grasped every opportunity that called for assistance

Never a barrier or obstacle for resistance

In her simplicity she managed to do great things

For these I am sure she got many blessings

A woman of Faith a woman of substance

Her being called home is a sign of Acceptance

was loaned to us for a while not forever

So with strength we will get through this together

Our journey with you has come to an end

Rest in the arms of the Lord dear sister dear friend

Love Always,, Anna-Marie Campbell and Marlene Thomas
