Not sure what to say?

Anita Jean was my older cousin. Although I didn't see her often I remember her always as being so poised, warm, friendly, and very beautiful. I just found out today about her passing. My condolences to the family. Had I have know sooner I would have attended her memorial. She was such a gracious and loving person and although I only saw her briefly at family events, she always left an indelible impression on me.
Rest in Peace,"Nita."

Your Cousin,
Marda

Eternal love and friendship

I admired lovely Anita as long as I can remember--from our first meeting. I loved Anita's mother and I loved Anita, too. My sympathies, Suheyl and Joe, for your great loss.

My deepest condolences to you both, Suheyl and Joseph. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I had no idea Anita was ill.

I first me Anita in the ESL department at the UW - back in 1981. As single women we often hung out together. And better yet as a novice ESL teacher I was able to take advantage of her vast knowledge and experience in ESL.

I remember going to her house-warming party, and everyone was saying. Sue Hale is coming! I thought who is this woman everyone is...

My first best friend. So generous. So lovely. You led me to my promised land. "1000 Dank!" can't begin to express my gratitude for your place in my life.

LOVE IU IU Süheyl and family. Have no words. Hugs to heaven dear Anita

Peter and I met Anita when she and Suheyl were having Sunday breakfast on the waterfront in Seattle a few months ago. We feel lucky to have known her and so sorry that we didn't get to know her better. What a loss....

My dear cousin Neet was loved by many and will be missed by many. As children we played dress-up, picked huckleberries, played on the swings, and took tap and ballet lessons. We also sat around the fireplace at Grandma Nina's with all the other cousins. You are without pain now. Rest in peace.

My life was blessed by your friendship. I will keep memories in my heartb
