Frank and Myrna,

We are sorry to learn of Anita's passing, but she is now at peace and has lived a long life. May she leave lots of happy memories of good times together with the family.  She had dealt with alot of sadness through the years with losses of her children, but I recall a very gracious lady who was fun to visit with.

Thanks Karen, she did live a good long and enjoyable life, and she was a neat and special sister and friend. I didn't want her to suffer. Hope this finds you all doing great and escaping some of this rain, wind and severe weather.

In loving memory of my Aunt Anita. To a beautiful woman that lived a good long life. I will always remember you as the perfectly dressed woman in a pantsuit that was ahead of her time.  I will remember your smile. I will remember the night at my mom's birthday party that you stayed up till past midnight talking with me,  your nephew, about life etc. Most of all I want to say that I love you, Aunt Anita, and I will miss you.
Love,
David

Frank.. I would like to give you a heart hug..as it can't be easy letting go of a sibling...even though ..as you say..she had a great life and was probably more than ready to "go home".
I always got a hoot out of Anita. She was a classy lady. never did you see her in town without looking all gussied up and smellin' good.

I'm sure as she crossed over, she was met by all the ones before her who had passed and the family reunion and celebration will be in full swing for quite awhile. 

May your memories of her and the times you spent together keep you at peace until you too, join her at our "real home" on the other side.

Thank you Teresa, Anita would love what you said about her, and I appreciate it. You do have a way with words.

Thanks Bonnie we appreciate you. It was really great seeing you and Bob, we took some friends to the Copan Truckstop for Catfish last Friday Night and they really enjoyed it and couldn't believe how much food they got. By the way, Diane said to tell you both hello, the Granddaughter with her was Madison, what a really neat young lady. You can all be proud of her.
Frank

[Bonnie M.]

Frank, when we come back that way, we'll let you know, and plan to meet you at Copan again!  We went there Saturday night, with twelve members of our family, from Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.  "A great time was had by all."

I'm glad you got to see Diane, and Madison.  I think Madison was a baby the last time we saw her.

Will your sister's funeral be the first one held at the new funeral home?
