Sorry I was unable to attend the services for Anna. Although I never worked directly with her I had some contact with her while working at the Department of Developmental Services. I had just bumped into her a few weeks before her death and got to say hello one last time. I do know how important her family was and that in the few conversations that we had she talked about Jordan and his sports activities. I am sorry for your families loss and may you cherish the happy times, the fond memories and know that she did leave her mark on this earth with all that she did for others. Take care of yourselves in this difficult time. Mary Evans

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Having worked with Anna on the Byrnes Unit at Seaside Regional Center, I can personally attest to her compassion and professionalism in her care for the residents. She was a consummate human services professional and a joy to work with. Her caring ways and exceptional work ethic were writ large on the lives of those she served.

Dear Anna!!! I am so saddened to hear of your untimely passing but I am glad I was able to speak with you earlier in the week. You have no idea how grateful I am for you and the friend you have been to my mother. I am happy I was able to spend some time with you over the summer and I thank you for looking after my mother and little brother when you did not have to. You are an amazing person and despite circumstances and those around you, you always managed to smile. Christopher and I will never forget you. xoxoxoxoxoxo S.I.P. dear Angell! We love you always.
