John, Keith, Jeannette and families, We are so very sad and shocked to hear of Anita's passing; we did not know she was ill. I have fond memories of Anita from high school as a kind, happy and encouraging soul; I know she continues to be all this and more in her Heavenly Home. I am a better person for having known Anita and am grateful for her life and her freindship. Although, Anita was part of my life for a very brief season, she left "heart-prints" that have lasted a lifetime. Paul has fond memories of Anita from Little League. With sincere sympathy,
