Anna was such a beautiful person inside and out and brought light to every room she ever entered! Her light will continue to shine in the stories of her life and how she lived it. For this reason, her passing will not be in vain! It is said that if an untimely death, such as hers, does not change the life of at least one person, then the death was in vain. This is will definitely not be the case with Anna. She changed lives and will continue to do so. Much love and many prayers to you all!
