Greta Ida Nelson Anderson

Special to Keith: Your mom told me a lovely story when you were in first grade and I was your teacher. She said that when she asked you what to get me for a Christmas present, she enjoyed hearing your reply: "Mom, she's not a lady she's just a girl." That was my first year of teaching, and even to you, at six years old, I looked pretty young! God bless her, and your family. I still enjoy an Anderson's cone when I get to Buffalo, rate it right up there with Ted's Hot Dogs. My sympathies with...

Ralph Chambers was my dad´s younger brother so I knew Greta later in her life and she was, as so well remembered here, just amazing! Her smile and kindness were infectious and her work ethic was unparalleled. I remember her and Uncle Ralph visiting us (primarily to see my dad) and, upon seeing my flower beds in need of weeding, she went right at it. She was lovely.

Our most sincere condolences to the entire Anderson family. What a wonderful legacy Greta left for all of western New York. She touched many lives, especially during our teenage years, providing us a Place to begin our careers. She will be remembered for her smiling face and warm greetings. With love,

She seemed as sweet as the Anderson's custard. May she rest in peace.

Sending love and prayers to all of Greta's family - I have fond memories of her and Carl, as well as all of you.

Nels, sorry to read of the passing of your mother. Did not know her personally, but you and I attended basic training together at Fort Dix way back in Aug.-Sept. 1968. Remember you frequently talking about her and "the ice cream stand". May she rest in peace.......

To the Anderson Family: By all accounts, your mom was a truly amazing soul - called for a higher purpose than the confines of this earthly world. Tonawanda´s finest lady! Sending love and prayers and very deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathies to the Anderson Family. What an amazing woman and an amazing life lived! May your memories bring you comfort at this very difficult time.
