My deepest condolences to the entire family. So many fond memories of showing properties to Annie and the family. Her main concern was always making sure her children were taken care of. We had many great laughs and conversations while driving around Long Island. A beautiful soul taken way to soon.
Best Mom in the world. A saint amongst the angels.

I offer my Sincerest condolences to the family. Annie you will always be one of my FEDEX " sisters". My favorite memory of you was when I was promoted to work in the office from the dock. You turned to me and said Congratulations, you deserve this and are a wonderful addition to the office. Rest with the angels. Love always Raquel
I’m so sorry to hear that Sadie’s mom passed away. Annie had a great idea to create gamers club. I am one of many who appreciate what Annie created and Sadie has done a great job of making games fun and having a place to get together with friends. Annie’s life and work helped many other people be happy.
Annie was one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever known. She will truly be missed. I can’t thank her enough for all she did for Connor. He (and I ) both made wonderful friends through Island Gamers. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Dan, Sadie, Tony, Daniel - Annie will continue to live in your hearts and memories. With deep regrets we share the pain of the loss of such a special person to each of you.

Annie, We feel so grateful to have met you. You always met the needs of each and every youth at Island Gamers, doing whatever was necessary to make sure each child felt included and cared for, while making for a safe and fun environment. You gave Thomas an opportunity to find friendships and to socialize and it has changed our lives forever. We will never forget your kindness and support.
We will NEVER forget you! May you Rest In Peace eternally.
I’m so sorry for your loss! ❤️

Annie, you have always been so gracious and kind to me whenever we shared a conversation at “your baby”- the Gamers Club. You have always compassionate and an excellent listener. It was always obvious that you took a sincere interest in what I had to say. I regret that I didn’t get to know you better. I know that you have been a brave, strong and determined person. May you rest in everlasting peace alongside God, your departed love ones and the angels in Heaven. May your memory always be for a blessing.

Dearest Sadie and Family,
Your mom was truly an amazing, caring, loving woman who will sorely be missed by all who knew her. She helped so many of us in ways only a family of a child with special needs can understand. If not for her, so many would still be alone, wishing for a place like Island Gamers. With all our love, caring and prayers to get you through this difficult time.
I was very sorry to hear of Annie's passing. I grew up on the same block in Richmond Hill and have many fond memories of her and all the McDonalds. Annie was a wonderful child and I always enjoyed playing board games with her.

Dear sister Ann. You had such a big heart. It could not be contained. You always looked out for everyone and i was blessed to have you as a big sister who looked out for me always. Even when i was a fool or hurtful, in time you were always there with open arms. I have learned a lot from you about being a caring person Ann. You set a great example. A part of you will live on in me and everyone who truly knew you.
Annie has and will always be my hero and inspiration, for it is solely because of Island Gamers Club that my son was able to know the real meaning of friendship. Such an extraordinary human, greatly loved and missed.
Ann has done so many great things and help so many people. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.
