To the Claeboe Family, It was nice knowing Mrs. Anita for such a short peroid of time. I like for you all to remember the hiking trips, tennis tournaments, many birthdays, and all the other special events throughout the 90 years. I wish you all well and take care. Veronica.

I knew Anita through the Jacksonville School of Bridge where I found her to be charming, elegant, and engaging. I was wonderfully surprised to also run into her at the symphony -- even shared some concert tickets with her.

Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

I first met Anita at Xander DeVries baptism brunch. She had a funny sense of humor, and when she walked in the door to Timuquana club, she said to her brother Carl, "I'm sorry we are late, I could have found it if I had been driving". It was very funny, and I talked with her a couple of times that day and laughed both times. At another family birthday, she was equally as entertaining at the Japanese steak house.

Peace and comfort to the family and I hope all the memories of Anita make you smile. I hope that each day gets easier with her loss.
