We knew Anna from Eastern Star. She was a lovely lady and a blessing just to talk to. She was kind and determined. Our hearts go out to Harold and the rest of her family. May God keep you in His arms and ease your pain. Rick and Carolyn

I was fortunate to be a nurse taking care of Ms Williams at BRMC. My heart is breaking, but I am thankful that she was able to see her 67th anniversary with her sweet husband! I send my thoughts and prayers to her family!!!
