Thinking of your family at this sad time.
When your best friend and cousin is only 8 months older and you shared joyful family reunions …..the bond will never be broken, even by death. Anita is a part of me. Her cheerful voice holds a special place in my heart. Dennis and family, Anita lives in you. She has blessed many and will always smile down on you.
We will miss you but it is comforting knowing that you are safe and secure in God’s hands.
Our God told the apostle Paul to record at 1st Corinthians 15:26 that death is an enemy. Our Lord Jesus demonstrated while earth he has power over death. We await the day to see our beloved Anita here on earth again at Jesus call. (John 5:28,29 & Psalm 37:29) Love Russell and Carla
