Mom, I haven't been here for a while. As time goes by it get's harder and harder to think of you and the last moments we spent together. I have vivid memories of our 7 months together constantly throughout the day. It hurts. I truly hope that you are happy. I miss you so much I can't even explain it. Hope your up there, blue eyes sparkeling the brightest blue I have ever seen and the most beautiful red hair. It seemed to me the more you got tired and weak, the more beautiful you became, your...

To Anna's family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately I only learned of Anna's passing today. I spoke with her several months ago, but did not have a chance to meet with her. I first met Anna back in 1994 when she became my massage therapist. She gave me help and support when I went to school to become a massage therapist myself...and we remained friends. I will remember her for her charming personality...and those gorgeous sparkling eyes! The heavens welcome an angel!

Hi,
I am so,so,so sorry to hear of Anna's passing.I am Julie, the realtor that helped Anna find her townhouse . I didn't know Anna when we started our search ( I met her through Jeanne) but when we were done... I felt like I did and I absolutely grew to adore her! What a sweet and wonderful person!!
I remember how ecstatic she was when she walked into that townhouse! We had that place all decorated in our heads and painted all kinds of fun colors!
Such an A1,kind...

Dear Anna-
It has been 3 weeks now since you passed...I have tried several times to write you in the guest book and every time it doesn't work out so I waited awhile to come back and talk to you. My initial thought was it wasn't the 'right' time to share my feelings or my feelings might have been too much for one email.
Just the other day when it was time to lay out fancy clothes for a wedding I thought to myself "what shoes would Anna choose if she was here...??"
The things I miss...

I would like to mention again that we have opened a memorial fund in my mother's name at First MInnesota Bank in Champlain. All of those procedes will go to North Memorial Hospital's Hospice Unit where my mom spent the last 2 of her 4 weeks of life. And on numerous other occasions. This is the only wing that has not been updated since the 80's. This is the only wing that does not have new carpeting, comfortable furniture, and working T.V's. Our family really feels stongly that this unit,...
