Dear Anjy, Hi it's me! Oh how I wish I could pick up the phone and catch up on lost times. After moving from Texas and going through my terrible divorce, I decided to find all my old friends and catch up. I was so distraught to find out what had happened to you, and I regret everyday, losing touch with you. When I think about you I think of our Senior year together... running into Calculus class late every morning, you hating that job at Kroger, watching the 'Baby Got Back' video and laughing and laughing and having you listen to Queen and watch 'Say Anything' for the first time. I came across a picture of us on graduation night - we both had grins from ear to ear on our faces!!! I miss you so much. You will always be in my heart.

Thinking about you lately. I got out the Christmas decorations and a card from you was on the top. It was like you were telling me "Hey I'm still around". I miss doing the crossword puzzles with you. I pray for you to see God's face. I hope we will see each other again. I miss you. Look after Patsy for me. Love always

I don't even know where to start. Kyle, I'm so sorry for your loss. Anjy was one in a million and you are the luckiest man on earth to have had her. I just found out about her passing and I just can't believe it. Anjy was very important friend to me a long time ago and that smile of hers was so infectious, I'll never forget it. Anjy, I'll always cherish the short but intense friendship we had. The "free" CD's you used to set aside for me at Hastings in the Mall, the late night talks and massages, the road trip to Dallas and Lollapalooza 3, Meatloaf, and surely I'll never forget the first time we met when you and Brandy "discovered" I was the stalker! You are the sweetest soul and the greatest of all time.

Kyle, I am sorry I never met you or knew Anji as she evolved into the beautiful and impressive young woman she became. I did meet her when she was a toddler through my husband's family (Ken Farmer) and I have never seen a toddler with such a beautiful smile and outgoing personality. When Dennis first brought her and Terry to Midland, she just became very close to everyone in her sweet little way. I am now sorry for the grief you are feeling but please just cherish and hold close all the wonderul moments you two shared. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Anjy, For 31 years of my life the sun could shine in a hurricane.Just knowing somewhere you were happy made the world a place for joy and laughter to be shared with those around me. I watched a delightful toddler become a bubbling little girl then a courageous young woman. Always you enriched the world with your zest for living. Pulling me from my Scrooge like shell you guided us to enjoy restaurants, music and the company of people I would not have thought to try. Thank you for your life and the life you gave to my spirit. It won't be easy, but I can't let that ember cease to warm the world. Only the height of the joy your memory brings gives me hope that we can climb from the depths of this sorrow. Dad

In 1993, I was going to tell a guy that I had been seeing, that I did not think we had a future. Anjy knew just how to help. She was convinced I needed just the right "break-up" music playing in the background. So she supplied me with "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" by Meatloaf. I was grateful for the help and her vast knowledge of music. We were so silly back then.

I was in Anjanette's Desktop Publishing class. I didn't know her past saying hi or being in the same room, but my prayers are with her family.

Anjy was an amazing person. Her ability to make friends with everyone around her was incredible. She never met a stranger. I miss her laugh. I miss her calling me on the way home. I miss hearing about what movie she just went to see. I miss my best friend.

Elkins Family and Friends--Anjanette's impact on me was an unexpected one. I didn't know her personally, but I'd recognize her sweet face because I had her in a class. I hadn't heard about her death until recently, however, I was ironically on the road in San Angelo during the funeral procession. I pulled over and thought to myself as I watched the people drive by, Wow, this girl must have been something special because I could tell by the look on their faces they just had a terrible loss. Also that day, a girl I worked with was expressing what a wonderful person she was. Eventually, when I learned who she was and listened to the high praise my teacher had of her, I realized how much I wished I had got to know her and her beautiful soul...
