Roxanne and family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers. Your Mom will be sadly missed. I'll never forget all the sleepovers we had at your mom house. Raiding the fridge. All that good cooking. Love, Vanessa and family.

Our deepest, heartfelt Sympathy to the Rosario family,
Anna really loved the Lord with all her heart and it was seen in her everyday life. She really touched both my husband and my heart. We had so much fun going to yardsales....she was the best yardsaler....always got the most incredable sales! And she was willing to share it all with others. She was someone that always thought of others and went out of her way to help...using her talents at cooking, her precious time and always had an encouraging word. One of the things that I think of when I think of Anna is that her reward will and is definatily found in heaven....she worked to impress Jesus and no one else. She had a personally relationship with Jesus and knew that her hope was found in Him and Him alone. We will miss her dearly and no one will ever be able to take her place. I look forward to the day when we will meet again.

To All in Anna Rosario’s family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I offer heartfelt condolences.
“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” Psalm 116:15 (NIV)
How inadequate are words to express my feelings of sadness over Anna’s going home to be with the Lord (because I will miss her). But I also rejoice because I know she is now in the presence of the Lord. I thank God that I do not sorrow as one who has no hope, because I believe that one day I will see her. For years I have been a recipient of Anna’s graciousness, generosity, and friendship. I have experienced happy times, precious moments and lifetime memories. Anna excelled in the grace of giving and she overflowed in rich generosity. Anna always reached out to those who God put in her path and she gave generously without expecting in return. She always expressed to me whatever she does is as unto the Lord. I believed her. I thank God for allowing our lives to having been intertwined. Only God knows how many lives Anna has touched through her acts of service and generosity. My prayer is that God will give all who mourn in her family, beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Isaiah 61:3 May the Lord sustain you during these pain-filled days of your fresh grief and shower you with grace upon grace. Lovingly in Christ, Isabella

Anna will always be in our hearts and we will always keep her memory alive. I hope it will bring you a little comfort that Anna is now in a better place with God.
Johnny all of you are in my prayers. I ask God to look over all of you at this difficult time. May your beautiful, loving, caring, sweet, wonderful wife REST IN PEACE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
RESPECTFULLY,
MRS. KAREN M. SIMMONS- (COUSIN)
