“Baby, you loved to set on the front porch and listen to the birds. You would ask me if I could hear them and I would say no and then I would get my hearing aid, and then I could. Well, now you are sitting on Heaven’s front porch listening to the birds and looking down upon us. I will join you someday soon and we can sit and hold hands and listen to the birds together. But for now you will be one of the birds singing to us down here.”
Anna is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Ray Thompson; children, Leo Del (Lea Ann) Kay III, Chuckie (Laci) Kay, David (Sarah) Kay, Joey (Jenny) Kay; step children, Susan (Susie) Thompson and Ray “Willy” (Lisa) Thompson; sisters, Emil Hopkins, Karen Morton and Cathy Schlang; brothers, Benny (Patty) Hopkins and Sonny “Grover” (Beverly) Hopkins; brother-in-law, Dallas Thompson; sister-in-law, Vickie Thompson; an amazing Grammy to fourteen grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
