According to Cecilia, the 62-year-old man consistently made Annie feel exceptionally special.
However, their relationship hit a rocky spot four months ago.

It was only at about 2pm the following day that Annie’s parents were informed of her death. She leaves her parents, Cecilia Smith and Alwyn Aylward, as well as her three sisters, a brother, and a stepsister.

Her funeral will be held on Friday, 30 November, at 2pm at Connexo, which is situated at 85 Kingdon Street, Quellerie Park.
