I had the privilege to work with Anna at Soteria. She was the very first smile I saw when I entered to clinic. She was instrumental in getting me my job at the clinic. Her love for the Lord & her family always shined through her smile. You will be truly missed Anna. Blessings & love to your family.

Dear Anna,
I remember the day you were born and Don and I were so proud to be your godparents. I was so glad to be able to visit with you several times at the Homestead Care Center. I was amazed at your positive attitude during your illness. You were an inspiration to everyone around you. Randy was such a devoted, kind and caring husband and you were blessed to have him in your life. Your mother and your entire family were so supportive as well. I will miss you!
Love, Joyce Borgen

Michael, Blair and Families,
Loving thoughts and prayers are being sent your way. Your Mother Anna, was a special gift from God. Her message to you was brief and limited in time, but a message that you will remember and pass onto your children. Hold fast to your memories, keep God close in your heart, and never, never question his power, for he is with you always, and loves you dearly as he does your Mom. Confide in him and he will help guide you through your loss. God Bless!

Dear Anna,
You were the first friendly face I saw when we moved to Plymouth in 2002. As I walked through Soteria's doors for the very first time, your warmth and light
embraced me right away. With your help my faith was renewed and so many wonderful memories and friendships were made, in the few short years that we had shared.
Many laughs and some tears but mostly a valued friend and sister of God.
What courage and faith you have shown through out your entire life.
May you finally be at peace, I know for sure you are sitting next to Jesus now, telling him all about your family.
You will be missed- Much Love Patti Ache

Anna will forever hold a special place in my heart! I am so extremely blessed to have found my love (Mike) who brought me to you. I am eternally grateful for her loving caring welcoming arms to Val and I. Anna was an amazing grandmother and her sprit will live on in each of her grandchildren through the values she thought them, the smiles, and loving hugs they shared. You will never be forgotten.
All My Love,
Kelsey

I had the priviledge to work with Anna at Soteria. I admired her lover for her family especially her grandbabies. She had such a love for the Lord and it shined through with her caring and compassionate heart. She will be dearly missed. My prayers to her family.

Dearest Anna ~while holding the hand of our Lord and Savior, reach and hold the hand of your Dad, Larry. Oh, how we should all long to live in Eternity with the Loved ones that have past before us. I only knew you as a child Anna, but my wife Dolly(deceased)and I were very close friends with your Mom & Dad back in the 50's & 60's. May God shine His Eternal light upon you!

I had the privilege of working with Anna at Soteria in the early 2000's. She was in many ways the face of Soteria, having been there since its opening, and being the familiar, friendly face first seen, and the calming voice first heard. She was also an extremely powerful prayer warrior. Many times Anna and I would join hands in my office to pray for the patients, for our co-workers and one another. She was an amazing woman of God and will be missed by all who knew her. Her life was not always easy, but Anna was always rock-solid in her faith, and a shining example of living out her beliefs. She and I also shared being grandmothers, and I know Linzy and Blake were blessed by having her in their lives. May God comfort her family at this difficult time. Randy, Blair, Michael, Marlene - I had the pleasure of meeting all of you in Columbia Heights and know how much you will miss Anna. May her memory bring you comfort and the sure knowledge you will meet again one day.
