Garnaat Flower Shop was one of my favorite remembrances and became an imprint to one day open my own floral

business. There are so many wonderful memories of the

scents, the flowers, water fountain and Mynah Bird that

whistled everytime you entered the store.

My mother, Maryrita Monroe, loved her employment

with Garnaat's, her first job in the floral business.....because of you and your shop, we

(as mother and daughter) when on a mission together to

later open our own. Thank you for you, and all you

offered to us, and the joy you gave to all your customers.

Annie,

You were such as beautiful, vibrant, funny and loving woman. We all fell in love with you at Christian Care-where we were blessed to have spent your last days with you. We will never forget all of the special moments we had with you-all the laughs and good times. We will forever imagine you with your cat in your arms-cracking jokes all the while. It was my pleasure to do your nails every Wednesday and I will always remember us laughing at how you wouldn't keep the polish on for longer than a day or two. I loved you dearly and will always consider it a blessing and honor that God graced my life with yours. I take comfort now in two things-knowing that you are with your beloved Ray and that one day-I will get to spend eternity with you. Until then-I love you Annie and will always treasure the time we spent. All my love, Tami

Oh dear Annie it is hard to believe you are gone!! At least you are much happier now! You are now with Ray and you are not suffering here anymore. You had a long and very happy life with Ray. I came into your life back in 1976. You were sent to mem from heaven. You never had children of your own but you always said I was your granddaughter. Whenever friends would visit you you always introduced me as your grandaughter. Now I am all grown up with a child of my own and I will always remember what you told me when I was carrying him. You said that was the child you never had and that I was supposed to give him to you when he was born. Well Annie you spent many days with him and I will always be thankful that you were able to laugh and play with my son and he brought so much joy to your life. You and Ray were always there for me when I needed you and I can't thank you enough for the things you did for me. Life is short but you had a really good life with Ray and I will always keep you in my heart. Rest in peace Annie and one day I will see you again.All my love,Kerri

Annie, this the name that I knew you by and always will. Well, I have to say with sympathy, you are now in heaven with your husband Ray. All of us still here on earth are going to miss you dearly. I always knew that once Ray passed away, you soon would be joining him. And now you have. I will always keep the memories I have of you within my heart. I met you through my mother-in-law Erlinda Griswold and my wife Kerri L. Martinez. I enjoyed all of the times my wife and I would visit you and Ray, and all of the times that we had you and Ray over for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, you and Ray were like Grandparents to my wife, Kerri and Great-Grandparents to my son Emilio.

We, Erlinda, Kerri, my son Emilio and myself-Isaias are going to miss you son very, very much. Ray is in his glory up in heaven right about now. Now that he now has his wife with him.
