Some things just hit you without seeing them coming, I just heard of Anna's passing yesterday, and was so struck that this lovely lady and friend would no longer spread her warm smile when chance would bring us near. I pray all her family is comforted in knowing so many miss her. I pray also that she was a true believer and I can look forward to seeing her again one day. God Bless you all.

When you listen closely to the Yupik who love one and other, there is never a goodbye, goodbye. They say, "A short good bye and we'll see one another again." Anna touched each of us in her little special ways. She will always be in our hearts. Thank you Dear Lord for sharing her with us. Peace! Cousin Alice (Beans) Wilson

Mr. and Mrs. Stevens,
My heart goes out to you and your family, God Bless you all, stay in faith and trust in the Lord. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Psalms 5:1-3, Regards Glenn T Westdahl

She was supportive to her family....I bumped into her at the State Cross Country Meet where she came to support her cousin from Stebbins...Her athletic spirit (including playing basketball) is obvious in her children. Keep on reaching for the best as she did...

My Condolences to the Pratt Family for their loss. I never expected Anna to leave us so soon. I worked with her years ago at A/PIA. She was so full of life, cheerful, had empathy for others and was a true friend. The things I loved most about Anna was her laugh and her bubbly personality. I will miss you my friend, Rest in Peace!!!

My thoughts & prayers to Anna's mom & dad, Theresa & Dan, all her brothers and sisters, her husband Jon, daughter, Daniel, and son Joshua. I will miss running into her on our travels, summers in St.Mary's to cut fish for our families, and in Anchorage. It was great working with her at the airport with Wein and SeaAir. Anna had so much knowledge with technology, she taught me to use the computer quickly. Anna was such a wonderful mother to her children, a daughter to her parents, a sister to her family, and to all those she met in life as a friend. Anna, I will miss u so much, give hugs to your sister and brothers in heaven. Love you Anna!
