My dear, Anna

I was just thinking about the time we spent together with you and Ernie in Aruba. Ernie always asked us to come visit with you somewhere. Well, that time I think he was surprised to discover that we would take him up on it that time.
I think we spent about a week with you, visiting, eating, discovering the island and climbing the one mountain on the island. We had such fun and a wonderful visit. 
You were the best cook ever. I occasionally make one dish that I learned how to make from you. I had to ask Sylvia once how to make it because I had forgotten the recipe.
We have enjoyed your friendship for many years.  I've lost track of how long we've known you.
I love you my dear friend and will see you in heaven one day soon.

Love,  Arlene

She was a wonderful sister. 
I still remember her support when I first came to Sharif Bible office. I was alone but he was looking after me to see if I need food or any help. She gave me her car to help me for easy transportation from a place to place. 

I will never forget her real genuine love. With hair wonderful husband, Skip, the both stood beside me in the different journeys when I visited USA. 

Looking forward to meet in our heavenly house soon in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My dear aunty Ann,

I will always remember you, first when I was a child when you were living in Aruba with uncle Ernst , always preaching and talking about God!
And  years ago we met you again with uncle Skip in Zeeland also so nice being with you!
And how Jozua also enjoyed your company!

And  I could always reach you if I had an question or just to say hello !
You would answer that was always so nice!

May your legacy continues true Sherry and Sylvia

Always in my heart dear aunty Ann🩷🌺

"Breaking bread with my  Spiritual Grandma(Anna) & ( Skip) Grandpa is one of my favorite little joys in life."

My fondest memories are coming to your house as a teenager and being treated as your third daughter.  The four of us girls had so much fun singing, having dinner and just  hanging out.   I will cherish those memories and be grateful for how you helped shape  my life.  
Forever in my heart, so much love,
 Diana Summit 💕

The best memories I share are the years that I slept with you when I was small. I missed you tremendously the day you got married and left us (me) in Surinam. 
That was dramatic. 

But so happy for all the nice little memories we were able to make through Skype or the phone, when the garden was our mutual interest and our oasis. 
Thank you for all you have given us so much Anna. 
Missing you♥️

I met Sis Anna ( known to me as Sis. Thoeng) . She has been a wonderful person always encouraging and having a Scripture passage .
When I opened a unit of my shop at Krasnapolsky’s hotel in Suriname - she gave me a plague which I have to thins day - Jeremiah 29:12
She helped me to set up the layout of the shop and was sad to see her leaving the shores of Suriname , but we kept the contact . I had hoped to see her one more time on earth , but I know I will see her in heaven . She was a source of encouragement when my father sent home last year . 
Until we meet again.  Sister Anna .

What a beautiful and deeply moving tribute to our dear Anna. Anna was my cousin—the eldest daughter of one of my father’s sisters—and she held a very special place in our family and in our hearts.

Reading about her love for gardens immediately brought back warm memories of her father, my uncle Ern de la Parra. He also had a deep love for plants and nature, especially on his farm in Suriname. It is touching to realize that Anna carried that beautiful part of him within her. Like the gardens she so lovingly tended, she planted countless seeds of faith, kindness, love, and devotion that will continue to grow in the lives of everyone she touched.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Charles, Sylvia, Sherry, and the entire family. May God surround you with His love and grant you strength, comfort, and peace. Anna fought the good fight, kept the faith, and is now safely home with Jesus. We will remember her with deep love and gratitude. ❤️🙏

With love and deepest sympathy,
Robby and Rieke Jessurun.
