Patti, Eddie, Dom and Frankie, Dave and I were Heart broke to hear of Annas passing. Our prayers are with all of you as well as Danny and the Girls.
Anna.... I will remember your infectious smile and beautiful attitude. I will remember your first little blue car driving up and down the street. The summer you babysat for my girls. I would come home from work to find you, Joslin, Deanna And Dez all in the same bed eating cookies (or whatever you had baked that day) watching T.V. or find you all in the pool playing chicken. I will remember all the BBQ's and jewlery parties, and so much more. Thank You Anna for touching our lives in such a wounderful way.
RIP Sweet Angel Anna we Love YOU !!

All my thoughts are with Anna's family in this time of unbelievable tragedy. I'm so shocked and saddened that Anna is no longer with us. Anna was such an incandescent presence in the lives of those who knew and loved her. I wish for peace and acceptance for her family.

I always enjoyed seeing Anna when she attended Chaparral. Always smiling and a great attitude. My oldest daughter got the pleasure of knowing her through SAFE. She came to Chaparral about 6 mos ago and I got to visit with her and her lovely girls. What a great mommy. I lost my mom as a small child and my family rarely spoke of her which made the loss even deeper. Never stop telling those babies who she was. She was fun, kind and beautiful. We are deeply saddened to hear of this loss but are thankful she touched so many lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
