Tributes
"I believe that Sometimes God puts people on this planet to teach us how to love. I believe that Anita was one of those special people. Rest well Anita."
"We are so saddened at the loss of this dear lady. She will always be remembered as grandma teacher. When we first met her at Cornerstone World Outreach some 30 years ago. Our son Dustin asked her if she would be his grandma. And of course she said yes. She was a very loving and godly woman. She will be dearly missed. This is just a temporary goodbye Anita. We love you."
