Anna,
You have to be the most remarkable woman I have ever known. The stories you told were not just incredible but will never be forgotten. You were a selfless woman who sacrificed everything for the welfare of your family, which included me for many years. It is with great admiration and love I say goodbye. God has a special place just for you to finally rest and be at peace. I was blessed to have known you. ~Kimberly
