Monica, Stanley, Jennifer, Franny- Anita was a gem. She always had something very clever to comment on. My favorite, "You can break a single twig, but, a family is like a bunch of twigs-it cannot be easily broken."
She will be missed.
Love,
Rebecca

Monica and family, I was so sorry to hear about Anita. Although I haven't seen Anita in a while, I have some very special memories I hold dear. The most vivid of which are the years she took Monica and me to Salem Willows on the last day of school. We always looked forward to that trip... it was a huge part of our end-of-the-school-year celebration. And sometimes Monica would even bring her baseball cards:)
Please find comfort in knowing many people, including myself and my family, are thinking of you during this difficult time. I will see you soon. Love always, Patti
