Chris,
So very, very sorry for your loss. Mark and I were stunned when we heard the news some months after her passing. We have such fond memories of you both, and our hearts go out to you and your family. We know that "Jack" (Pizza Hut days) is in God's hands now.
Take good care.

My condolences to Anita's family. Anita belonged to our Wednesday group that's where I met her two and a half years ago. She is one of the strongest, bravest and most caring person I have ever met. Anita talked a lot about her husband and two girls. I pray that she will rest in peace. I'm so happy to have shared her journey.
