Annie was one of my good friend throughout grade school, she was the first person i had invited over. When i was little i had a big birthday party planned for all my friends in 4th grade... minutes pasted... then about an hour in my mom was about to take down decorations because no one had showed up, i was devastated. Until that is annie showed up. She was one of the only people to show up to my party. I still have the dent in the side of my family's barn from when she ran out quad into it in 4th grade. I still remember dropping her off at home. I still remember her moving away. And i still remember finding eachother in 6th grade; Being so excited. Our squeals ring in my ears to this day. I regret not attending her viewings, her party. I regret not visiting but it was hard to. I was so young and too young to understand i'd never get to see annie again. I loved her and still love her with all my heart. She will never be replaced.

I visit Annie’s obituary a lot. I’m reminded of Annie’s joy and brightness when we were in elementary. I remember not believing the news when I found out, only to find this page. I see her siblings and I’m glad they seem to be doing well. I hope she’s resting well and I wish the best for the Dowell family.

Even though I wasn't close with her growing up, she was still such a great friend. We had girl scouts together from kindergarten to 3rd grade. I appreciated all the little memories we had together. We went to day camp together for Girl Scouts, and I remember we got to choose our nicknames and she chose 'Jaguar Jump'. That was 7 years ago. She gave off such a vibrant vibe, and her smile was so warm and bright like the sun. She was the sweetest and was an amazing friend to all. I still think about you Annie. There hasn't been a day where you haven't crossed my mind these past two years. I wish I could've gotten to know you more and even when I switched to a different girl scout club, I wish we could've still hungout. I really hope you're in a better place. I love you so much Annie ❤️

Miss you. You were a good friend and neighbor and you were really sweet and kind. Hope you rest in peace. 

Annie, such a nice girl and had the best smile. I can't remember one time i didn't see her smiling. Me and Annie sat next to each other in band. Me and her used to speed up the tempo on a song and laugh about the kids that were trying to play the right way. I remember our last duet together was "Volga Boatmen." Annie me and everyone else will always remember you.

I miss you sooooooo much Annie i wish u were here with us when we always tease with each other its so funny i wish werent dead i wish u were with us alive

My first memory of Annie was this last September, when I accidentally used her full name. She corrected me instantly, and everyone laughed. Annie was always full of life, coming into my class with a sweet smile, and constantly getting others to laugh or be a noisy class period, singing songs. I have heard so many wonderful memories about you from classmates this year. And while this event has shaken our world up, I will always miss you Annie. Peace be to you, friend, clarinet and basketball player, 

And to the Dowell family and extended family, I am so sorry for your loss and I want nothing more than to help you heal. My heart goes out to you.
