Anna Mae was a wonderful inspiration to my life. I had the privilege of knowing Anna & Tony since I was born. They quickly adopted the Grandparents role by their dedication to attend every Birthday, Sports Event, and Holiday. They wouldn't have missed any family function for the World! Anna's joy for Gardening, Cooking, Music, and Hummingbirds has taught me new passions in life that I continue to carry with me. She had a huge impact on my life and I couldn't have asked for a better role model! Anna, always wanting to know what's new in everyone else's life showed her true love for family. Anna Mae ~ you were the best Grandma a Grandchild could ask for. You will be missed tremendously & I love you!!! Katie O, xo
