Anne Pressly's family statement

The family of Anne Pressly would like to thank all of you who have prayed for Anne and for us, for your visits, your calls and the many ways you've reached out to us at this very difficult time.

We are appreciative of the outpouring of love we've received - obviously out of your love for Anne. We are overwhelmed by your affection; the care Anne's physicians and nurses have given her, the diligence of the Little Rock Police Department in this investigation and local and national reporters who have respected our privacy.

Anne has a long struggle of recovery ahead of her. She is a fighter, a strong, healthy and physically fit young woman. We expect her to recover completely. We ask that you continue to pray for Anne and for us. We very much appreciate the blood donations that you've given in Anne's name. Rest assured that the sacrifice of your own blood will be used either to help Anne or to help someone else who needs it.

Now our family needs private time. Please respect our wishes and give us time to heal as a family - privately - without visitors. We will issue statements as Anne's condition improves. Today Anne is in critical but stable condition.

The Family of Anne Pressly

Anne, was a great young lady that had a lot of pride,progress and potentials.It's sad and im going to miss her but she is in a better place and ain't suffering. I hope god have mercy on the person that done this to Ann because justice has not yet came. I love you,Anne and it's going to be weird without you,but i know you will still be there just laughing and talking as usually,and im going to miss that unique smile that god gave you with love!

God is answering my prayers. I pray that he continues to put his shield of protection, love, grace and healing around Anne and her family. Thank God for touching the healthcare providers and giving them the knowledge to know what Anne needs at this time in her recovery.

There is way more to this story than they are saying right now and rightly so. They need to be able to get who did this and make it stick. God Bless her, her family and her work famiiy and friends.
