Anna was a close friend of mine from our days at Foothill Christian. She even went on a cruise with me to Alaska. I'll never forget her smile, how fun she was and how close we once were. My condolences go out to her family. Gone way too soon. Love, Julie

I knew Anna from Foothill Christian School. At that time we were close friends and even went on a cruise together. I looked her up to reunite and found this. I'm so saddened to see this news and am left wondering what happened? So sorry to her parents and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy. Anna was a great person, with a caring soul. She worked with our dogs, but was also a friend. We will always remember her fondly, and keep her memory alive. I hope her dogs are doing well, she used to rave about them and I know their well being would mean a lot to her. She contributed greatly to the happiness of my family and our hearts go out to hers in this time of loss.
