“Annie Mae Motes was an exceptional woman in all her ways – a woman of great faith who read her Bible daily and practiced what she read. She was an excellent example of a meek and quiet spirit who was honored by her family and excelled in virtue and Christianity. She was considerate and loving of all her household including her sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. Annie Mae was humble, fervent, respectful, worshipful, and persevering in her love of God. She gave us all a deeper meaning of love and grace.”
