Gerry, Jean, Cheryl and families,
Tete Anna was an amazing person and we are all so blessed to have had her in our lives. Our visits over the years that we have lived in Texas were extra special, and I have wonderful photos that we treasure to this day. What beauty, humor and spunkiness she had! I hope all of us Bakic's got those genes -- what a blessing! I have so many fond memories of growing up with our grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. You have our deepest condolences for your loss. I truly wish we could have joined you at the services, but I trust you know we were there in spirit and prayer.
Love,
Carol, Gary, Ty and Taryn Lily

Gerry,
I am sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was always a cherished Aunt. Some of my favorite childhood memories were visiting Aunt Anna and Uncle Joe at their cottage. I could not wait to get there and catch a fish. Almost as guaranteed as seeing her smiling face. I will miss her. Sorry I could not be there.

To the Kovak Family: We are sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mark and April Hopkins

I love and will miss dearly Aunt Anna. I have many fond memories of our visits. It was always such a wonderful surprise to receive her hand typed letters saying hello, wondering about the San Diego weather and sending her love. I know she is already basking in love, laughter and peaceful times in heaven with Uncle Joe and Dennis. Wish I could be there to celebrate her life. Charles and I send our love, thoughts and prayers to everyone in the family.
