Our thoughts & prayers are with your family. We only just met your lovely daughter at our son's graduation party exactly one month ago. Such a sweet girl - she really loved the Kolacki's from our next door neighbor! She was a friend of Nick's and he is touched by her passing.

I had the pleasure of having Anna in my Dundee-Crown French classes and also to take her to France on our school trip. It was great fun for me to introduce her,a world traveler,to France and it's culture.Much of her writing in French spoke of her love for the ocean. I'll always remember her sunny smile and sense of humor.
All my condolences go out to Anna's family and friends.
Fondly,

We had the pleasure of knowing Anna through our son Nick, as they attended the Senior Prom together. She was a truly beautiful girl inside and out and we are so very very sorry. She was always so wonderful and supportive to Nick and he is devastated to have lost this amazing friend. She was truly a blessing as we hardly knew her but knew she was the meaning of the word love.

We only know of Anna via her uncle and aunt, Chuck and Lori Frans, who are our friends and neighbors in Marietta, Ga. Our hearts are broken for all her family and friends, yet we know God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, is in complete control and He alone will comfort and keep you in this time of great loss. Our prayers are with you all as you face the seemingly insurmountable challenges in the minutes, hours, and days ahead. What a testimony Anna's life was and is to her heavenly Father.

I am so very sorry for your loss. My family and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to your family. She will be forever missed. Now we all have another angel looking over us.

I admire and respect Anna so very much because of what she did with her life. She accomplished so much and was such a passionate and motivated person. I was friends with Anna years ago, but haven't seen her in a long while. I wish we would have remained friends so we could share our love for the ocean together. I would have loved to travel to all the countries she visited, and to experience everything she has. You should all be very pround and happy for Anna, for she has gotten to do more in her 19 years than many people get to in their life.
R.I.P Anna. You're always loved, and never forgotten.

The people of Colorado heard of Anna's story after her angel saved a little boy from drowning. I don't know her, but how you described her proves that she was indeed an angel. Blessings to you.

We only knew Anna through our daughters .. watching her play basketball at Crown and then performing in Chorale. She was a lovely girl who radiated joy. Only God knows the reason for this tragedy but we should be comforted knowing she is in His loving arms now.

Dear Schneider Family,
I do not know you personally but I am Karlee M's aunt and know how very special Anna was to her. I can only wish to have the magic words to make this somehow better for you all but know those words don't exist. Although seemingly minimal, I do offer my sincerest sympathies to you all and my prayers for strength and healing. God Bless.

I will miss you dearly. Even though we lived far apart we always had fun when we saw each other (graduations, birthdays, weddings, etc). You are with Poppy now, safe in Heaven. May God bless you.
