Annie Neilson was a treasure from God to have as a grandmother. She was the epitome of Love, Care and Selflessness. She was the rock of the family. She could always find the positive in any situation in life. “If you don’t have anything nice to say…” Annie read the Bible countless times and lived a life that glorified Jesus. Every card she wrote me in her beautiful handwriting she would end with “God Bless You”.
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them”. Rev 13:14 KJV.
