So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and
death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry
nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Annas was a dear sweet lady and will be dearly missed by all that knew her. I'll never forget her selling my dad a refrigerator when I was 8 years old, he didn't have a dime to his name. She told him he could pay her what he could till it was paid for. I think just about every appliance we had in our house growing up was purchased from Heasley's. Annette and David you have our deepest sympathies.

Thinking of you all and remembering what a special lady Annas was. I occasionally brought her some cranberry pecan bread from a Fayetteville bread store around the holidays. She ALWAYS wrote me a lovely and sweet note. I will always remember the first time I watched "Wizard of Oz" IN COLOR at her house. It was intense! But her buttered popcorn was even more memorable! She had the gift of hospitality and making all feel welcome either in her home or her workplace. She will be missed.

My sincere sympathy for your loss. Annas was so good-hearted with customers while working at the store. She made sure customers were taken care of and able to get things needed. She and Bonnie loved helping others. Thinking of you during this sad time.

May you rest in peace. You were a wonderful Christian lady. If it hadn't been for the kindness of You, Paul and Bonnie, we would probably never had and decent furniture and appliances during the first several years of our marriage. You were all good caring people. You will be missed.
