Just found out Anna had passed away, and I just saw her recently. We celebrated together with Big Macs,
and had such a good time. I am very sad and will miss her very much.

Curt,
It was really sad to hear about the loss of your mother. I know your mother meant the world to you and you meant the world to her. Even though several years have past since we were last together, I can still picture your mom giving us the third degree over something silly that we did or planned on doing. I have many memories of you her but the one I'll always cherish was when she had me go to the mall to see her at work. She arranged for a tailor to fit me for a suit for my first high school dance. She made me feel very special. She will always reside in my heart. May her soul rest in peace.
