Annabelle was one of my best friends in enrichment She was super funny and always kind to everyone. We did so many projects together. It wasn't too long ago when we did the road-trip project and we had so much fun and laughed a lot. I will miss her so much. Our class will continue to remember her in everything we do. - Sam Harrison

My memory of Annabelle is that she would always sing in class, and she had a really pretty voice. I also remember how smart and kind she was to everybody. I'm both a classmate and neighbor of Annabelle and miss her. But I am thankful for the fun memories of her. Adams McKnight

My memory of Annabelle is with her sister Callie at ELC drop off. When my C overlapped with your C, we didn't have siblings yet, but were expecting a little brother or sister later in the year. The sweet sisterly love between Callie and Annabelle was always SO heartwarming. It helped C warm up to the idea of a sibling, made her want a sister, and set a really great example of loving big sister. She ended up with a brother, but we've never forgotten those sweet drop off moments. We're praying for you guys and for the kind of peace and healing that only God's loving grace can provide. ❤️ Christina, Eric, Cecelia, Harold

We were fortunate to be part of Annabelle's Sunday School teaching team. Before the lessons would start, she enjoyed playing checkers or air hockey. She was always kind, and we are blessed to have been able to spend time with her. Our entire family is praying for Annabelle's family and all who loved this amazingly special girl.

One summer Bella and Annabelle played nonstop as well as Callie and Phia. They enjoyed shopping for fidgets, going to crafts, sugar, and the library. Annabelle was so fun to talk to about anything. She always has something to say about any topic. She was so well spoken and interesting. We all enjoyed her company and will miss her dearly. We are grateful for the time that we had with her. We will miss her so very much. Words can not express what a precious girl she was to everyone in our family. Love, Rachel, Chris, Bella, Phia, and Gianni Buechler

Annabelle was such a delight to have as a camper in Rosey Den at Skyline. Words cannot describe how blessed we were by her sweet and tender heart. She always has the wittiest things to say, and was always coming up with wonderful creative ideas. She has such a mature sweet heart. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of taking care of her <3

Annabelle was truly a blessing in our Family and to everyone that knew her! We will miss her so very much! Take care of our precious Angel! We love you Annabelle Kathleen!

Annabelle is so kind and bright and smart. And funny and very creative. She has a big imagination! Her artwork is beautiful. She is always kind to me. She is always kind to everyone. Literally always. I am really going to miss being with her in school. Love, Teddy Dionne

Both of my children had the pleasure of having class with Annabelle as well as attending church together. Many sweet memories were expressed and the common sentiment was clear: Annabelle was a friend with a truly kind spirit of love and generosity, while also being an absolutely brilliant individual.
Ben fondly remembers her joy at the class party in her honor when she moved up a grade but also her delightful silliness with the group while performing GoNoodles. Allie enjoyed being in Sunday school together and their fun outings in the village and around town.

Both my son and daughter shared the same thought - Annabelle was so sweet but also so incredibly smart. What amazing gifts to remember.. happiness and immense intelligence. They remembered her joy frequently singing, her kindness with gifting her adorable bracelets, and enjoying the fun times like all the children their age that have the benefit of living in our community.

Kathleen and Dodd, you are supported in prayer and love from our family.

Kathleen, Dodd and Callie,

Our hearts are so heavy for you. Annabelle was such a bright light. She radiated confidence, poise and kindness. I love how imaginative and curious she was.

I am most thankful for the childhood memories Bradford and Alice have with Callie and Annabelle as classmates and neighbors. From trick or treating together to a more recent trip Alice and Annabelle took to the Village (likely to buy too much candy and giggle together) they were so blessed to spend time with Annabelle.

We continue to pray for each of you. Bradford will also be there for his sweet friend Callie with support and love.

Brad, Mary Jane, Alice and Bradford Cleage
