I thought of Anita many times during this
past year. I placed her painting on the
wall among mine. She will always be a
beautiful memory to me.
I am sure she is at peace with the Lord.

Tamara, Brent and Family

When someone you love passes away, we ache, but we go on; our dear departed would want us to heal, after they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend the anguish and pain in your hearts; you need time to remember and time to mourn, before the recovery starts.

Family draw togather to recuperate, as you go throught this period of sorrow; help each other, with tender care to find a brighter tomorrow.

Sorry for the lost of your beloved mother.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother was beautiful inside and out. She was kind, smart and a breath of fresh air. I will always remember how gentle she was. She will be missed but never forgotten.

When I think of your Mom I think of grace, warmth, beauty and caring. All of these qualities she seems to have passed on and taught to her 3 daughters. A wonderful legacy. My heart goes out to you all.

It's been many years, but I have memories of a vibrant and gracious lady. My deepest sympathy to your family. May God hold you close during this sad time.

I could write a book about our friendship. I always "stretch a story" so maybe it would be a great short story.!!!!!
Thinking of Anita's three daughters, her brother, Fred and sister, Marie and their families.
Wish we could have seen each other when you visited The Biltmore a couple months ago. I did hear all about it ----during a long phone conversation.
My sincere sympathy----
Love to all,

She was such a beautiful lady. It was a privilege to know her and all three of her lovely daughters.

My heart aches with yours as you say goodbye. I was so blessed to have known her and to have been able to visit with her last month.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
