Dear Annette and family,
My deepest sympathy to you. I do not get the paper and was called by a member in my church that used to work in Western Electric with Anna I am deeply sadden by it. I was just talking about Anna the other day to someone. I was glad to have known her and was glad to have taken care of her through Home Instead Senior Care when she was here in Allentown, PA. I will miss sending her cards and receiving cards from her. The hope is When Jesus comes we will be joyful to see Anna again. I loved her alot!!

Love, Margie Billig
