To Anna's long time companion and friend of 12 years Patrick Joseph and her family;our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Anna was respectful to traditional ways by being supersensitive always offering a loving hand to others in need. She was the switch who turned on the lights with her smiling, laughing, talking, sharing,caring and loving actions. Our sympathy as she takes her rightful heart to heaven, may we remember the good times.
