To Michael and the entire Langley and Ruffin family, please know that Mrs. Best and I are praying for you. May God gives you peace and comfort. And may the pleasant memories that you have shared sustain you and give you strength in the days ahead. Annie was a wonderful person, an encourager and a precious friend, even though we didn't see each other often. When we did see each other, we caught each other up as to what has been happening in our lives. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy.
