I met Mrs. Anderson (Mrs. A) through her daughter Becky. We were 17 and in high school. Becky and I became fast friends and I spent a great deal of time at the Anderson home. When I think of Mrs. A I see her smiling face. She was always so very nice to me. She always made me feel welcome and included in the family. It was a lively family with four children the oldest 17 and the youngest 4 but Mrs. A handled everything in stride and it was very obvious her family was the most important thing to her. One night Becky and I took her to Sacramento to "cruise K Street". She was so cute and really enjoyed it. If I remember correctly She said "let's go around again", so we did. Only once do I remember her being down and that is when she sadly said to Becky and me she was turning 40. The mood didn't last long and soon she was back to herself again. There were times when Becky and our friends would be a little mischievous and I remember she would listen to what we had to say and always stick up for us. She trusted us and I always appreciated that about her and felt safe talking to her about anything. She was a wonderful person and I count myself very luck to have had her in my life. My heart goes out to Becky, Janice, Evan and Kelly and the rest of the family in their time of loss and know they have many happy memories of a life well lived. Love to you all and to you Mrs. A.
