The family will set up a temporary memorial in the pavilion on Saturday and is requesting anyone who knew and loved Annie, or anyone who just wishes to support the family, to stop by the pavilion and leave their favorite photo or story of Annie Jo at the location.

While the family wishes to share this moment with others, they said it has become too difficult for them to emotionally endure such encounters in person. The family will place pictures and signs within the pavilion for those 12 hours and hope to be able to spend the next few weeks reading fond memories of Annie Jo.

As for the search, areas of interest are Route 66 in spots where it runs parallel to I-40, and I-40 between Weatherford, OK. and Yukon, OK. Any tips may be called into (404) 500-9376 or emailed to helpinganniejo@gmail.com.
