We've been best friends ever since middle school. And you made me laugh so many times. We spent most of the time on the phone. One thing that i will always remember about you is the way you always made everyone laugh and the smile you always held up even through hard times. You were always a great listener. I just wish i had one more chance to see you again and tell you how much of a good friend you were. And how you helped me through me having my son. And you were even there when you helped me pick out a name for him. I still remember when you called him little alien. And i will always miss you AnnaBear and will forever be in my heart and mind. XOXO.
Love Alexcia.<3

Anna was a wonderful person. <3 I had math class w/ her everyday. We would talk all the time. & Not one day was she upset. Even if she was mad, she always made people smile & she kept a smile on her face. I think abot her everyday. Noone could come close to how wonderful of a person she was. AnnaMarieStickel, I love you so much. & I just wish you could be back here w/ us. <333

Anna was an amazing person. I am happy to call her my cousin with us or not. I always wanted to be just like her she was my older cousin and my role model. I remember with all the bullies at school she would tell me she would beat them up. I miss her beautiful smile, It could light up the room. I love and miss her so much. She always put friends and family first before anyone,even herself. she would do anything to protect her family. If we build Anna's bridge she will be happy that it will keep her friends off the tracks and from passing away like she did. I know shes in a better place but
God i just wanna see her beautiful smiling face. She was so unique. Words cant describe Anna. I love you Anna Banana!!! </3

I hope sarah & anthony are okay, I hope you rest in peace & all your troubles have fade. Everyone misses you and shedding tears for you. I drove by the last spot you walked yesturday, I cried. I miss you & know your always watching above us. To the parents of Anna; I hope you's are doing okay & your in my prayers. As you can see, Life is always taken by someone so great.

Mr. Mike and Mrs. Tara,
I am very sorry this had to happen to anna. I loved her with all of my heart. She meant the world to me. She made me the person I am today. We considered each other stepcousins. I loved it when we would chill. I could talk to her about anything that would cross my mind. So their wasn't anything she didn't no about me. That is how we loved it. All of my friends tell me anna would talk about me all of the time. I love her with all of my heart. She will always be my number one best Freind. I will always miss her with my whole heart.
January 22, 2010
Nanabear...there are no words to even describe how badly I miss and love you. You are my heart, soul, and purpose. I'm so grateful to have had the privelage of being your mom. You have made the past 14yrs of my life an honor babygirl. I will love you forever, and I will hold you in my heart for the rest of my life. RIP my sweet angel...Love always, Mommy

Anna Stickel was a good friend. I don't think many people knew that I knew her. I talked to her a lot on Aim and on Myspace. We never hung out but just by talking to her she always seemed so bubbley and i loved that about her. Still i can't believe she's gone it goes through my mind everday. I went to her viewing , and that was the first time i met her. I walk around and everyone i look at i see anna. The happiest girl now gone. It's painful. I know she didn't deserve this.I give my blessings to the parents and the even closer friends that loved Anna very much. We'll miss you very much Anna. I love you.

Anna Marie Stickel was my bestfreind, she did anything for anybody. I miss her so much. When I found out about the death of my beloved freind I cried so hard. I was in school when I got text messages saying that Anna Marie Stickel had passed away. I feel horrible cause there wasn't anything that i could've done. I wish this never happened to anyone but i guess these kind of things happen for a reason. But i give Anna's mom full support about petitioning ANNA'S BRIDGE, I want to do anything i can to have ANNA'S BRIDGE built. I know that Anna would be proud of her mother and her freinds exspecially when they are trying to do something so this doesn't happen to anyone again.
Well over time i'm hopen that things will get easier on all of us.

I used to cross the same tracks MANY years ago to get to school and was the about the same age as Anna was. I now have my own 20 yr old daughter who went to the same school. My feelings are somber and sad for the loss of the family. The roadside memorial is growing each time I ride by as Anna obviously had many friends and was a beautiful girl and will be remembered that way. Listen to SWITCHFOOT'S song YESTERDAY..............

Anna Marie Stickel, you we're an incredible girl and you always knew how to bring a smile to my face, or brighten up my day. We met when I was in eighth grade, and you were in seventh. We talked nonstop, but then I entered high school and we promised to keep in touch, but we didn't. I truly wish I would have, because you would have made my life so much better. You're my guardian angel now, and many other peoples' as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you & your family. I love you and miss you always girl <3

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Anna, I saw her at the bus stop, I know she was very kind to my daughter when we moved here, by all accounts this young lady was a joy to all her friends and family. This is such a sad and senseless tragedy, I know only that my heart goes out to her family and friends.

I did not know Anna, sorry to say, but she is my brothers granddaughter. I only saw Tara once when she was a baby. I kept her while David and Sandy went out . I regret having a niece so close to home and not having a relationship with her and her kids. David tells me Anna was a beautiful girl and I believe him. Tara, I am truly sorry for your loss and I hope we can visit someday under better circumstances.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We were deeply sadden by this news. My son was very good friends with her and was terribly sad of the loss of a friend. She was a beautiful girl. It is very tragic to have her life taken away so suddenly and way too soon. We could never imagine what your family must be going through and our condolences cannot take your pain away but just know that everyone is holding your family close to our hearts.

My deepest symphathy for annas family. I am one of her good friends from school and i have too been taking it very hard. I hope that this would soon pass over so its not that hard on everyone at school. Just know that anna is looking down on everyone from heaven and she is the most perfect guardian angel.
January 8, 2010
May the peace and love of Jesus Christ comfort you and yours in the hour of need. My brother was killed in 1986 by a train on Eastern Blvd, so although I do not know your pain, I too have experienced it, and can promise you, God won't fail you.
