    Aunt Shelly, Uncle John, and Bobby:

    We cannot even begin to express in words how deeply sorry we are. We are in complete and utter shock just waiting to wake up from this horrible nightmare. It was just two years ago that Annie stood up in our wedding, and that day truly would not have been the same without her. We are so very blessed that she could be a part of our special day and we will cherish that moment forever. I found the following quote from an unknown author, “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday.” I felt that quote suitable for Annie as she is now in heaven with Grandma Karch watching over us. Our thoughts and prayers are you with you, John, and Bobby during this very difficult time.

    We love you! XOXOXO!

    Love,
    Marissa & Rick Karch
