About the Annal Family

 On September 3, 2020 our family was taking a day trip to Letchworth State Park. While on the New York State Thruway, traffic stopped due to construction on the road and our minivan was rear ended by a truck. Our daughters, Maryella age 11, and Elizabeth age 9, did not survive the accident. Tom suffered a traumatic brain injury, which has fortunately healed. Maureen suffered a spinal cord injury, and is still working hard at recovery.

Since the accident, Tom and Maureen have been living by the motto to do “the next right thing” From this has come the creation of Annal’s Angels Inc. to honor their daughters, and to make sure that they are never forgotten. They were sweet girls who enjoyed helping others, and were loved by all who knew them. Maryella loved reading, and Elizabeth loved all things computers. They both loved our family dog Bogey.

In addition to creating scholarships in memory of the girls, Annal’s Angels will create and enhance opportunities to improve literacy and foster the love of reading in children. There will be a focus on library’s and parks.
