Dear Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We are so sorry that Anna’s life was tragically cut so short. May all your treasured memories of her continue to make you smile and comfort you in the days ahead. We never knew her well and only saw her two or three times. However the memory that comes to mind is when she came to our house and did grandma Peggy’s hair and makeup before taking her on to the family’s celebration of her birthday. I can still see how grandma looked in the pictures and remember how much fun Anna had pampering grandma. May God comfort you as only HE can. God Bless You.
RIP Beautiful Angel
We are so sorry to hear that Anna had to leave her family much too soon in this life. Our prayers are with all of you. May you find comfort in our Lord as only He is able to give during this time of sorrow. Don & Dee Franklin
Anna will forever be in our hearts. We had the honor of having a sweet relationship with her during her teenage years at Harvest Time Assembly. Her laughs and big grin will never be forgotten.

I loved Anna so much. She was one of kind and she taught me so much. I will always remember her spontaneity and her beautiful free spirit.
I am so sad to hear about Anna. I met her several years ago while she worked for Vincent Properties. Anna was always so kind to me and to my girls. I pray that God will comfort you all during this time.
No words can touch your pain. Anna was a precious woman whom I loved dearly and prayed for many years. I send comfort to your aching hearts.

My heart breaks at the passing of Anna Marie. What an amazingly sweet person inside and out. She was a great friend, so caring, and so compassionate. Always willing to go the extra mile and never had anything but a smile on her beautiful face. I only wish I could live life with as much vigor as she did. What a great soul and a blessing it is to know her. When my dad passed suddenly, Anna was there to offer me some very encouraging words, and she helped me so much through the hardest time of my life. What a testament to who she is, and always will be. Love you Anna and I hope you all find comfort in knowing what a blessing it is to have had such an amazing person in your life.
We loved Anna dearly. She was like a sister to us. She taught us to enjoy the simple things in life. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Bart & her family.

Anna never stop talking about her family whom she loved so much. Her mom & dad, her sister Sandra, her grandmother & family in Florida & Asheville. She would tell wonderful stories of her family always with such love in her eyes.
