    I have never been so impressed by a young woman I never met and lived vicariously through her as she was celebrated by celebrity after celebrity in a way no one could ever imagine. I was pulling for Annie and am so very sorry to hear this. Much love to you all.

      I was saddened to hear the news as Annie was such a fighter and the celebrity videos uplifted her so much I was expecting a miracle! Your unconditional love and support towards her was so inspiring, take comfort in knowing you gave your all and she outlived many because of it. She is now flying high with her angel wings watching over all of you and most of all free from all discomfort in the arms of her Creator. Wishing you much peace and comfort during this difficult time… lots of love to you and your entire family. Barbara Magro Berg PS.

    John and Theresa… I never had the chance to meet Annie but I have been following her journey and her positive spirit is an absolute inspiration. I think you both gave her that and she returned it x1000. I hope her strength carries you and the girls through. She surely knew how well she was loved and what a comfort that is. I hope I see you again soon. Love your cousin Ger in England. Xx

    I’m so heartbroken. Annie & I had a special bond that I will forever cherish. She never gave up and she fought the ultimate fight which gave me so much strength to continue mine. We were across from each other at Columbia and I remember we texted all day and FaceTimed at night, she made me smile because every time I went to her room she was creating something or had a big plan to do something or make the transplant floor better. It was contagious, it inspired me & it motivated me to be a better person. A happier person. She also sparked my love of make up and we always shopped together from our special websites. The last thing I remember she bought she was colorful Gucci bag which totally resembles her personality- colorful, bright, eye catching, makes you smile just looking at it. I love you annie. Praying for the McMahon family? -Love, Jenna Strickland (Annie’s Cyster)

    John I was so desperately sad to hear about Annie. I know how devastating and cruel it is but I also know that you have love and strength all around you. The whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. I also thought you might like the following:

    In the bottom of the old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their group ever came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him.
    Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain, he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that even if they could see him, they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.

    The fact that we cannot see our loved ones or communicate with them, after the transformation which we call death, is no proof that they cease to exist.

    Lots of love Megan & Themba

    John & Theresa

    I am so sorry to hear of Annie’s passing.

    I have followed her progress from afar and she was truly a force and a great spokesperson and celebrity in her own right for Cystic Fibrosis.

    I regret we have fallen out of contact and I hope to reconnect next time I am on the east coast.

    My thoughts are with you and your family,

    Daren
