Thinking of you—-rest in peace and go enjoy the party up in heaven!!!
I remember the many Sunday nights at Aunt Laura’s and uncle Al’s sitting in the living room listening to the radio with the whole family being there except for uncle Art’s. Also taking Leo hunting with us. May the perpetual light balways shine on Anna.
I did not know Anna, but my very good friend Debbie did know and love Anna. She would visit her and then tell me some of the conversations that they had. I grew to know her a little and enjoyed hearing about her and am sorry for her passing.
I enjoyed Ann so much! Even when she couldn’t hear me anymore, she made me feel special. Her face would light up when I walked in the room. And mine would light up in return. Even though I only knew her for a few years, she has a huge home in my heart. I am really going to miss her. She used to say that God didn’t want her yet. I’m glad that she finally gets to be with Him. She is gone, but not forgotten. Love you Ann.
