We offer our condolences to Anna’s family. As next door neighbors we will miss our dear friend. We will hold fond memories of our front porch chats, getting the latest Police and Fire Dept information she follow on her Scanner and her beautiful flower gardens. Anna will hold a place in our hearts here on N. 10th St.

Debbie and Tommy and family
So sorry to hear of “Mom’s” passing. I will always have a special place in my heart for her. She was a big influence on my growing up. Brownie’s, sleep overs, poached eggs😊, porch talks. So many things. I am blessed to have known her. Even though time and distance is a natural occurrence I believe we are all family forever and always. Love you all. She will be with your Dad reunited and at peace. And you will always have those angels looking over all of you.

Debbie and Tom,
I am sorry to hear about your mother passing. She was such a wonderful neighbor and person
always baking or needlepointing something to give to us. I haven’t stayed in touch like I had
wanted.
Love,

Sincere sympathy to your family in your moms passing. We graduated together in 1961. The last time I saw her was at our last class reunion. She was a kind and talented person. May she rest in peace.
