We love you and you will be greatly missed. I was glad you were able to move to the state of Washington where you lived a great life helping many. Sorry we could not attend funeral services. I remember being in New Orleans when you were born and this has always made you very special to me. Aunt Kathy and family.
We are very sorry to hear about Anita’s untimely passing. We will always remember her for her sense of humor and the way she made people feel at ease. She is known for her generosity and involement with the helping of others. Robert Weber and her got along very well because their personalities were similiar. Anita had a way of making the joys of life contagious. She was of my favorite relative to hang out with. Both Lloyd and myself will miss her dearly.
I Love You and Will Miss You!!!!!!!,
Love Your Sister
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of my warm-hearted, beautiful cousin. Anita had a great personality and was very easy to talk to. Upon meeting her, she knocked down my wall of shyness and made me feel comfortable. She was very upfront with me, which I greatly respected. She’s made countless personal sacrifices in order to help others around her and never grumbled or complained. It has been said that One can choose your friends, but One cannot choose your family. I was lucky to have a cousin as special as Anita and am thankful for the few times I was able to spend time with her and get to know her. May she rest in peace and enjoy being with her father & our Grandparents.
