Anna was my loving friend since our children were young. We shared so much together and no matter what years or distance separated us we always took up right where we left off. She was one of the best and most knowledgeable nurses I ever worked with. Her love for T.J. and Susan was what gave her purpose. How can I not celebrate her life when this beautiful person has gone home to rest. When my young daughter was sick she supported me and when she passed at 35, Anna helped me with my broken heart. She was just the friend everyone dreams of having. Anna, look down on us and help us to heal with your passing. Girl I loved my best friend.
