Dear Nancy, Bobby and Familes:
My deepest sympathy to you all! Your Mom was such a lovely lady! My memories of her from when we were very young, the bus rides we shared going to work in town, and my visit with her at the personal care home are all fond memories! I know she sure loved her family! Hope knowing you will see her again one day bring you some comfort.

To Anna's family, friends and former co-workers at the P-G. I was saddened to hear of her passing, but when I saw she lived to 95 I thought to myself...that's fantastic! Everyone in Classified loved Anna. She had more energy than all of us. She told us stories of her kids & grandkids. She ran, while most of us were content to sit & have a cigarette break....I was 40 when I got a tattoo....she would have been 66 then....she asked me a ton of questions......a little later she showed us her tattoo. Rest in Peace Anna.........if you see my Mom, tell her I said hello!
