We just learned of Anita's passing. Sincere sympathies to the family. Anita was a real sweetheart.
I grew up next door to Anita as the neighbor kid, near Alex., MN.
As the years went by, we still got to enjoy an occasional visit with her on return trips to her childhood home. She never changed....still a sweetheart. A very special lady.
We are very sorry for your loss, and we send our love.

To my good friend, Anita, without whom I would have never survived life in Lunado Ct. Our kids grew up together in the neighborhood. She and I shared many a cuppa and solved all the world's problems on those foggy mornings in SF. I am truly sorry that she's gone from us in this earthly realm, and she will always be remembered as a great friend. Blessings upon her spirit.
