No matter what….. she had “that” smile. <3 The emotional bond and relationships she built with her spirit and blessings make me a better person today. Annlee came into my life for a reason and I am forever blessed to have been a part of her life. I thank you all for allowing me this opportunity. Lets all smile with Annlee…..That beautiful smile!!!! Bless you all…..
