A single mother, Annie was devoted to her 6-year-old son, Jase, and loved nothing more than playing with him and watching him grow up. She was enormously proud last fall when it became apparent Jase was picking up how to read so quickly. They loved to go to the park, wrestle, take selfies and sing together. He was her shining light.
