Dear Andrea & Matthew & family, I want to say first that i am so sorry for your loss but it is my loss too. I have heart-felt memories of my aunt anna more than most. We always went grocery shopping every Friday nights together in that 1959 white Chevy with the big white fins, shared mostly all the holidays together taking turns at each others houses & by the way aunt anna was an excellent cook. I also want to say Andrea that you are the best daughter anyone could of asked for & i also want to say to my aunt anna that she will be missed in my heart much & i am sorry for all the tonette concerts i put you thru in elementary school but she was always there making me do my best & making me feel so special & proud & do my best. I love you aunt anna & you will always be in my heart.. Charlotte & Dave Sprigle (Tepo)
