We will miss Anna so much. She was such a blessing and encouragement me. Her love for the Lord and her testimony was amazing to me. I will miss spending time with her and listening to her tell a story.
I am so sorry to Anna's family for the loss of a wonderful sweet woman . It was a pleasure to call you my friend Anna , I will miss you so much <3
Janine and Matt so very sorry about the loss of your Mother. My heart also goes out to your Father. May you all remember the love and memories you shared as a family.
Andrew and I both will miss seeing you at small groups. Your face always lit up when you had information to share with the group that you had researched. I know that when you saw Christ your face beamed with such joy that you could not have imagined. Maybe he has asked you to cook him bacon bread. You will be missed dearly. Sal will be well taken care of. CAN'T wait to see you again in heaven. We love you and will miss you. Lisa Masoud and Andrew Masoud

September 7, 2016 What can we say about our dear friend Anna. We first met Anna and Sal at the doctor office. All we talked about was the lord that day. We exchanged phone numbers and that began our long friendship with them both. When we heard about the passing of Anna we could not believe it. She was a dear kind person. We are going to miss our get together and talks. She will surley be miss by us. So sorry Sal and Matt and Janine and granddaughter Gianna whom she loved dearly. We know she is with our Lord and Savior Jesus. No more tears Anna only peace! Love you and will miss you always until we meet in heaven. Stephen and Natalie Beers
May love and light carry your spirit like an angel into all the hearts of those who love you. May today's services offer your family and friends peace in their hearts embracing your memory.
Lots of love, Erin
