Mary Kay and Jeanne,
I am sad for you both and your families at the loss of Anita. I know how precious she was to all of you. I loved her too!
I think we are all happy, however, for Anita since she couldn't wait to get home to Joe.

I think Jesus gave her a big hug and said, "Welcome home, Anita, couldn't wait for you to get here."
