Bo, Debbie and Family,
Boy, could Anna read minds and eyes in the back of her head! I also had the priviledge of working with her at the "Freeze". She kept us all in line whether we needed it or not! That's why she was loved by so many. Share the memories and she will always be there with you. I speak from experience. The Gholsons will always hold a special place in there memories for Anna and your family. We love you!

Dear Bo and Debbie, Billy is working out of town but he called me early this morning to share with me the news of Anna's death. Billy will probably see you however I am working. I cannot imagine you without Anna- you were just a team. Memories flood my mind and soul of the bygone days in the old neighborhood- you two, Verdia/Happy, Jean/Ike and so many others having a great time. How wonderful to have enjoyed life so much and to have shared it with someone you loved so much. Please accept our deepest condolences and love. May God wrap his loving arms around you both and give you comfort during this time and in the days to come.

To Bo: I am so very sorry to hear about Anna. Ya'll have been in my thoughts and prayers since the beginning of this. I will never in my life forget the fun times we had at the Tastee Freeze. I loved working with Anna(Wheezy). She used to hate for me to call her that, therefore I tried to call her that as much as possible. Again, they were special times in my life that I will never forget and I will always treasure them. Just know that you will also be in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya!
To Debbie: I don't know your husband or children but I am sure there will be a definite void in there life as well as yours. You know I loved Anna to death! I LOVED working with her cause she was so crazy!!! We laughed so much. And I tell you something else...in my mind I was just as grown as her. Every now and then she let me know I really wasn't..in a round about way..yeah right!! I know you and Bo will miss her terribly cause everyone who knew her will miss her as well. Take care..I love ya'll!!!

Bo and Debbie: I am so sorry to hear about Anna. Given that there is very little one can say to make things really better, I would like to express my condolences and let you know that I am thinking about you all. You all were good friends to my parents and me so it is hard to lose good people like Anna.
I have to travel out of town on business this week so I'm not sure if I will be back in time to come by Thursday or Friday, but know that regardless I will be thinking of you all.
