Anita’s family and mine were such good friends as we were growing up. Many fond memories of family meals together with Dean, Robert and Valeria.
I remember how she adored and loved her husband, Thad so much from an early age .
I know she is walking the “streets of gold”with him now !

I was so sorry to read this morning of Anita’s passing. My condolences to her daughters and her entire family. I have fond memories of Anita from my youth. She drove our school bus and I thought she was so beautiful. And she was. Later she married Thad and began having you three girls. How she loved you three. She always had that beautiful smile and laugh. I know you will miss her. Prayers for comfort and peace,
