Anne Pressley: Like Anne..........

I am so sorry to just now be getting to this post; Betty Jo really got on my case. (Thanks, Betty Jo, for getting me in gear.....) Anne Pressley was a beautiful, 26 year old lively person, daughter, friend to all that knew her. I, for one, did not have the pleasure of knowing her; however, in a way, I feel I do. I'll get to that in a second......but they had her funeral Thursday and my thoughts and prayers, as do the YAYA's, go out to her family and friends. Last night you could have caught a segment on America's Most Wanted (click on this link) that details the specifics on her case. Please visit this link and if you have information please disclose it! The family needs this and this goes back to what I was talking about earlier about feeling like I know her....... If you haven't read my post from way back about Patricia: A friend I have with me daily, then click on this link, as well and that will tell you why; A friend of a friend......


Patricia was 24 when she died (20 years ago this last April); Like Anne, she was full of life, a single girl, living on her own; going to a community college and managing a retail store; she made everyone laugh that was around her. Like Anne, Trish was doted on by her family and loved desperately by her friends.....and like Anne, she was brutally attacked in the early morning before going to work, on a Monday morning to be exact; beat and stabbed and then left for dead. Like Anne, when Trish didn't show up for work that a.m., fellow workers called her mom and she immediately went to check on her daughter at her apartment. Like Anne, she too had to find her beautiful daughter beaten and brutally attacked....but unlike Anne, her mother didn't get a few more days of life; Trish was all ready gone......We hope Anne wasn't hurting in her last days and I'm so glad that at least her mom and dad got to say "I love you" while she was still here with us. We feel for Anne's family like NO OTHER! To this day, the killer of Trish has not been brought to justice; however, someday that justice will come. And, as with Trish, Anne deserves the same justice.....these two girls had so much to give and we will never get to see them walk down the isle; hold their babies; grow old and get wrinkles and that lovely muffin top that we old YAYA's so love to brag on! No--- Anne and Trish will be forever the young, beautiful, vibrant young ladies forever instilled in our minds......they will never change.....they will never wrinkle......but they will never be with us again.........and that's sad! The loss never goes away; time helps, somewhat......but it never heals the pain. Please; if anyone has any information on either of these crimes, click on the links above and report.
