“Darryll and Djuana, We were sadden to hear of Annie's illness and subsequent passing. I'm going to miss our phone calls and granpad chats. She was a sister not a sister-in- law. I loved her very much. May the peace of God be with you in this hour. Love (Ver) Verlene”

Stephanie Myers wrote a sympathy message

“Cousins Darryll , Djuana & family, I am grateful for Auntie Ruth and the bright spot that her presence contributed to her family. When I think of Auntie; I remember her as an Educator and Comedian. Although I admired her as an educator; I will never forget her jovial laugh and loving persona. It is my prayer that you will be comforted by the precious moments of Auntie’s uniqueness and the thought that she is in heaven with Grandma Annie, Auntie’s Mel & Phyllis, and Uncles Sonny & Ellis. Chelle💜”
