So sorry for the loss of your Mother, if we can help let us know.
I will miss my friend Anna. She was a special lady I work in food service many years and Anna was a joy
I have a lot of very fond memories of Anna from my childhood. Thinking of your family during this time of sorrow! Take care Darrell, Kelly, and Stacie. I know this is a very hard time for all of you!
