Dear Mike & Family,
I was deeply sadden to learn about your loss. I had a card out to send to your mother yesterday since I had just learned she fell at home.
Every visit I made back to Battle Creek, I made contact with Anna.
I loved to share Croatian music with Anna and see the smile on her face when she was listening to the tunes.
Anna was a great cook and loved making several of my mother's recipies.
I pray that the good memories will help you get through such a difficult time.

Michael, John, and Angela and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Anna's passing. Since Kathy and I were best friends, I have many memories of Anna and spent countless hours at Clinton Drive. Anna was a great cook and I still make some of the recipes she shared with me. We kept in touch yearly for an update on the family and I will miss that. I know you have great memories to help you through this difficult time. She truly was a wonderful lady.

With much love,
