I am so sorry to hear about Anita’s passing. She is in the arms of Jesus now and is out of pain. She will be missed.
Anita will be missed by MANY, MANY people. We had some really good times together!!! Especially when she; her Mom, Helen; her Sister, Gail; my Mom, Mary Lou and myself would go out on the town!!!! She had the biggest heart and was always there when anyone needed to have a shoulder to lean on or just someone to talk to. Though, in our later years of life we didn’t communicate as often as we wanted to, but we did get on the phone or were fortunate enough to see each other – we could always pick up where we left off and I can say that about ALL of her siblings, my first cousins!! I love you all and will keep you ALL in my prayers daily, I always pray for my family. Love you ❤️
Anita and Ralph treated me like family from the day I met them, my heart aches for all of the family, dearly loved and will be missed endlessly.
My Sympathy in your loss.
It was a pleasure to have known Anita she was a Blessing to work with.
