When my sister, Ari, and I, joined the Lawson family more than 20 years ago, we were teenagers--and teenagers aren't always easy to love! But Grannie Annie welcomed us into the family, as did all the Lawsons, with open arms and loved us as grandchildren from the start. We always felt welcomed and loved in her home. She always made sure we had a full belly, and wanted to know when she was going to see us again before we left. She was a woman with a sweet soft voice, but who filled up the room with her smile, and there will be a great absence in the Lawson family without her. I can't imagine a person who knew her that didn't love her and won't miss her.##imported-begin##Heidi Rawson##imported-end##
