Annie’s mother Claudia has passed on. It is no easy task to say goodbye to a love one, let alone a parent. Annie is always ready to jump in and lend a helping hand to her friends and family, and now it’s time for us to offer that same support and love as she navigates through this tremendous loss.

Everyone’s gotta eat, and it’s the best way most of us know how to help! I’ve created a care calendar with dates/times. The time part is pretty flexible, just need to coordinate it, either with her or myself. If home cooking isn’t your thing there’s a niffy option to select a restaurant, door dash, and insta cart gift certificate. Let’s all pitch in and make sure our good buddy is fed so she has one less thing to think about. I’ve spaced the days out so we can spread it out and give her time to eat left overs. 

I’m not sure when she’ll be up for visitors, but a kind texts or offer to hang out is never a bad idea 💗. 

You can also send flowers and gifts through the wishlist to let Annie know you're thinking of her.

Local restaurants she loves-

Siamville
Taste of India
Maproom
Mextizo
Feedwell Cafe
Need Pizza

She’s a coffee gal too, you can never go wrong there!

Please feel free to copy the think and send to other friends of hers I may not know. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee in the world. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Why We Love This Gift: Because it is coffee. We love this gift for that reason, but also because coffee (and tea) can facilitate conversation. People stop and talk over coffee and tea. Barista-made cups of coffee or steaming cups of hot tea are among life's "little" indulgences - the kind of thing that lifts people up. They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan. Maybe we can even meet for a cup? I'd love to know how you are doing and what I can do to be helpful. I send you lots of love.
