Anna Backlund

Dear Anna, We were best friends for a long time. From Jr. High school through Clawson High. We graduated in 1974. I took the college route and you deceided to go to beautician school and moved to California.You were always very motivated and even opened your own shop. You were very happy at this time. We kept in touch and I had no direction in college so naturally Anna wanted me to come to CA and live with her and catch the California itch!!!! We had so many happy and fun times. Anna...

I am very honored to be able to call Anna my friend. I had the priviledge to get to know Anna since our girls were the best of friends. Heather and I will be miss Anna more than anything but we will use her memeory to go on and live life to the fullest. Thank you to Leif for sharing your wonderful wife with all of us. She loves you so much and will be with you always. To Mikhail and Alyssa, your mother is so proud of the both of you. Keep living your dreams as she is watching over...

I was introduced to Anna by my cousin, Naomi many, many years ago. Anna gave both my sons their very first haircuts. She always greeted them with big kisses and had to wipe off her red lipstick from their cheeks. We since had family haircut appointments where Anna would cut my husband Kevin's hair, the two boys and mine. We would see Anna on a regular basis, every 5 to 6 weeks! She touched each one of us and will always be in our hearts.

To Leif, Mikhail, and Alyssa, Thank you...

I knew Anna thru my wife, Sue Woods, and always enjoyed hearing her laugh & talk...and talk...and talk. She was a joy to be around, and always seemed to brighten the room when she came to our home for our Holiday Open House. My warmest wishes to Leif and the girls. God bless.

I was so saddened to hear of Anna's passing. She was a long time family friend and the only woman I let touch my hair since I was 12 years old and up until she was no longer working (23 years!!). She was so much fun to be around, so carefree and had such an infectious laugh. She will be missed. My heart goes out to her family.
