Tom, words will never be enough to convey the deep emptyness I felt when you called me regarding Anna’a passing. You and Anna will always be a part of our life. I will truly miss her greeting when she would call, “It’s your other kidney missing you”. Anna touched the hearts of so many. Her outlook on life and her commitment to the Lord will always be remembered. We had a special bond that was undescribible. Yours and Anna’s friendship is forever. I will miss her. I am so sorry that Dennis and I won’t be able to travel for the service. Please know that we truly want to be there. My heart is so empty. I feel that I have lost a very dear friend. Please take care Tom. You can call us anytime. Our hearts are always open. God Bless you.

Tom, I didn’t realize that Anna had passed to heaven, in time to go to her funeral. I enjoyed her friendship so much, even though our paths didn’t pass very often. She was my roommate for a ladies’ retreat in Williston, and way back in high school, Rosa & Anna and Linda Heidner & I would eat our lunches watching the school be built. That’s when I knew she was a treasure. How much you will miss her! How much our hearts are drawn towards heaven’s shores, and the wonder of talking openly with The Lord over there. She was such an encouragement, and gentle gal. She’d want you to keep reading your Bible, especially John and the Psalms, and I Thessalonians, and just to drink it in often. Vivian Wall
