My condolences to Kay and her family. I met Anita at the salon and always admired her. She was one classy lady! She was spunky, had fascinating stories and was beautiful through and through. I know she will be greatly missed by all. My dearest sympathies,

Every encounter I had with Anita, and every story I heard about her, left me knowing that it was all about a bright, strong and proud woman. And interesting. She has a good story, about a true journey, leading her by and through the shared lives of friends and family, and leaving something of herself with each of them. When I think of her I will smile - - - respectfully.
And, Respectfully,

My deepest condolences to your family. The extended information you provided was so appropriate, giving some background of a wonder ful woman. I met Anita and Steve some 5 years ago in renting a dup lex from them,and found them to be such fine people as landlords and later as friends. Anita and I had many long talks over these years sharing stories and ideas. She had a way of expressing herself not in pride,but in simple fact. She lived a life of hard work,honesty,and grace that few can ever match. I am so happy to have known her,and hope to see her again in Glory. May all of you know peace in her passing.

Katie I'm so sorry about your mom. I know you two were really close. You we will b blessed for all the love and care you gave so freely to your mom. As a young girl I always admired you and her so much. I remember I wanted to b like her when I grew up. She was always so classy and smart and had gorgeous clothes and perfect hair. I'm so proud that my aunt fought and stood out in the crowd when it wasn't cool for a woman to do so. I want to believe I got a little piece of her when it came to business. My thoughts and prayers are with you Lit by Levita Foster - Houson, TX - Family Jul 13, 2017
She was a special person respected by all who knew her. May she rest in peace. Lit by Rebecca Brandel - Overland Park, KS - Family Jul 13, 2017
Kay and family, so sorry to hear of your loss, however she has many who have gone before her to welcome her. Your mother was very special to my Dad (Steve) and they shared so many years together. Anita was a very gracious person who carried herself with a great deal of confidence and she had a presence when entering a room. . Many memories of meeting your mom and my dad in Vegas and Dad showing Ali and I the ropes on gambling. It was always fun. Your extended family in Canada grieves with you during this time. Take care.
