"My favorite memory of Anna was the very first time I met her. Her kind words and warm embrace were all I needed to know that I was welcomed into the family. Anna had a grace about her that is hard to find in this world. She never said a destructive word about anyone, she was always kind and her sweetness was passed on to her daughter Sandy who is my wife of almost 30 years. I am close to Anna always as I see her in Sandy everyday. With that gift I am blessed. God bless you Anna."
In loving memory of
Anna Houle
