Dear Harvey
I am so sorry! I really loved Anita so much and I wish I had call her more often. She was so witty, funny and easy to be with. All my love to her memory and my symphaties to the family.

Dear Harvey and Family,
I cannot find words to describe this horrible loss. I loved Anita. Though we didn't see each other often enough, I always felt as though we had a kinship. She always had and always will have my deepest respect and admiration. She was one strong lady and an amazing fighter. I never heard her complain though she had every reason to. Rather, she chose to laugh and her laugh was infectious. She loved her family unconditionally and loved her friends with her heart and soul and without expectations of any kind.
I share tears with you, but I will delight in remembering her inner and outer beauty and light.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Harvey and Joan,
I am sorry for your loss. Anita was a wonderful person and so much fun to be around. I enjoyed every minute I took care of her in Betterton. I still have the letter she wrote on my last day at work. I always wondered how she found the time to write it. In the very short time I've known her, it was pretty evident she loves and cares for everybody around her. I have been thinking about her since I left. She is one special woman and I know she is now with the Lord and no longer in pain.

I'm with you on that one Joanie, I love and miss her too, and also miss her calls already, too much, too soon, - and yes she was very brave and laughed at cancer and made us laugh with her too, never a complaint, but always new symptoms RIP little girl and start your next party in Heaven, as much as we feel so robbed, I'm sure they couldn't wait to see you again.!!
Love,

Dear Harvey, Darren, and Family, My heart is heavy at the loss of Anita. I knew Anita to be an indomitable spirit, with unbounded love for you, her family, and a strong commitment to be the best daughter, wife, mother and friend that she could be. I will miss her presence in the world, as I have missed her presence in my life these last years. I remember her with great fondness and hold you in my thoughts.

Dear Harvey, Darren & family,
My heart so sank upon hearing this news. Anita, even in her struggles, was delightful, warm, real, engaging. A true example of what it means to perservere cheerfully. I am so sorry for your very great loss. Please know your family will be sincerely held in my thoughts and prayers.

Anita had a huge heart that was only matched by her sense of humor. Always a pleasure to be around her infectious smile will be sorely missed around town and on the Bluff. Anita’s friendship, strong will and spirit will always be fondly in our hearts throughout the many sunsets we hope to share.
