Steve, Julianna and the rest of the family I am beyond sad that Anita has passed..she and I have been friends for many years..we had big gaps in our conversations but we always picked up where we left off..she was so kind and caring and will miss her dearly..I also know how she has suffered in a physical sense with having her health issues..she now is pain free. She loved her family above all and I know she will be watching over all of you.
