Although I know you are in Heaven right now looking out for me, I wish you were sitting beside me in church on Tuesdays and Sundays. I am trying so hard to find peace but my heart cries and my spirit is sad for my best friend of 16 years. I look forward to the day when my tears are gone and my spirit rejoices when I think of you and our amazing friendship. I know you are looking down and telling me to get it together because you are thanking God for welcoming you into his kingdom and being a personal angel for all of us....I MISS YOU!

You were truly loved and will be truly missed. I loved visiting you and talking with you. You used to make me feel so beautiful and confident with your compliments and kind words of encouragement. And you never hesitated to tell Clee when he was WRONG! :) You were a beautiful person inside and out. A gesture of kindness or thoughtfulness towards you would really warm your heart and you would be so grateful, no matter how small the gesture was. Miss you already. . .

Anna, you were more than a sister in law, you were a true sister and friend. I will remember all of our talks, and don't worry about "J", God's got him and I do too. Psalm 30:1, You have turned my morning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. To our family, God has everything in His hand.
