Ben & I have such wonderful memories of Anna & Tom, two of our most dearest friends ever! The minute they came into our lives in Bellevue, it was like we had always known each other! Anna was such a loving person & loved Jehovah whole-heartedly, such a faithful sister. Never a dull minute with Anna! Can't wait to see her beautiful smile again! Thinking of you all, Sharon & Ben.
