Annita, Will always remember our friendship at MHS and again at Paris Junior College. You were always there when anyone needed you. Will miss you.
It seems like an eternity ago that we all sat around your house playing with legos, the first video game systems, and pc games like King's Quest. There isn't a day that goes by that I do not wish that we could return to times like that. While I was not an active part in your life over the later years, It does not mean that you were loved any less. You will always be missed. I hope that wherever you are, your times of pain are far behind you.
You will be missed greatly aunt Nita!
