I was so surprised and saddened when I recently heard of Anita's passing. I worked with her at the Hospice unit in Aventura many times and have always loved her company.

So very sorry.
God bless her...

My heart is full of sadness at Anita's passing. We worked together at Vitas for many years. She made "work" fun ! We had many a conversation - filled with alot of laughs, as well as our serious moments too. We enjoyed "swapping" - basil from her garden for me with soda cans to recycle for her. Lunches at Flanagan's were loads of fun; I will miss them. Sending my sincere & heartfelt condolences to Mike, her sisters & brother, nieces & nephew, and all the friends who will miss her.
I will think of Anita often with fond memories and miss her dearly.
I'd like to share with everyone a verse given to me in the past when I lost a dear one, which I found helpful, with time.
"The sadness of your leaving is only a moment long........
because the JOY of your having been here is FOREVER".
Blessings to all.
