Mark and family,
You have been in our thoughts and prayers for God to strengthen and surround you with His love and grace. Anna's sweet, kind, and dependable personality shone forth in a myriad of ways during our days at P. C. A. She was always our class treasurer during high school, and we could count on her to manage our important "financial matters." On Beta Club trips, we would secretly anticipate the homemade cinnamon rolls, or other baked specialities, that Anna would bring to...

Anna was always a great example of being a Christian first of all, and a teacher second. She was always nice to me, even when I probably wasted her daughters sixth grade year with youthful incompetence. Me and my family will always remember her fondly and strive to live up to her example.
