Anita and I were childhood friends. We played together between our house and got into trouble as well.

I have many wonderful and fond memories of her. I has been thinking of her recently but had no way of how to find her. I´ve been out of state for a while.

Anita had the prettiest eyes and smile. May she be at peace in Gods Holy Kingdom
