Anita was the best friend anyone could wish for - we shared everything and supported each other through the ups and downs of life. We worked together at Lady Di's British shop in Lake Oswego, both of us originating in the north of England. I was hoping to spend many more years chatting with her over our weekly cup of coffee, but, sadly, it was not meant to be. I miss her.
