As long as someone remembers another they are never truly gone.
A year passes so quickly. However we have many conversations and fond memories of Mrs. Anderson.
Our family is grateful to have known such a beautiful and caring person as Mrs. Anderson. I was witness to many of her kind and charitable contributions to individuals and the Yuma community. She was a truly humble person who cared about others by her many acts of charity.
There are many who call Yuma their hometown, but few like Mrs. Anderson who´s life makes it a hometown that others want to live in. She was an example of a life well lived.
Our condolences, thoughts, and prayers go out to her children and grandchildren now and always.
May her many good deeds never be forgotten by those she gave so much kindness to.
Respectfully
