I'm so sad to hear of Anna Beth's passing. I knew her from Make-A-Wish many years ago and I remember her being very kind, sweet, and so very helpful. My heart aches for you, Judy, and I hope all your family and friends continue to be there, love, and support you through this difficult time. I'm hoping to make it to her memorial, if possible. She touched so many lives in such a positive way...a life well lived.
