Our deep condolences to the Anderson family, as this is sad news for all who knew her.

prayers for those who are now grieving. may the memories bring you some comfort. she was an amazing, loving woman.

So sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of the time I spent at the house on Water Street. Your family will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Jill, I would love to be in contact with you. Donna
