Dear Jesse, J.T., Katie and Taylor,
Anita was the kindest person we know! I (Gengie) will be forever grateful for the time she packed up everything and headed to the Hill Country in my time of need. She is and was a good friend.
We remember the times we would get together with you all. Bob and I were just talking about our visit with you all when we went to Florida for Uncle Joe Fritz's Birthday. You and Anita have always been an important part of our life. And we thank God for both of you.
May God keep you all in His care and love in your time of loss.
With love and prayers,
Gengie and Bob Wiedenfeld (Comfort, Texas)

I am glad that I ran into you and her before Christmas and got to talk for just a bit. As always she wanted to know how I was doing. I pray Gods Peace for you and your family and remember so many care and are praying for you.
