Bill and Anise, I just couldn't believe it when William told me about Anita. My heart is broken, especially for your family. Of course we know she is in the presence of God, but I also know how much you all are going to miss her. I can't tell you how sorry I am. She had such a sweet smile and spirit. Bless you all and know we are praying for you to be comforted.
Love to you all, Teresa Torres

Our time living in the same towns in Ohio and in Ft. Smith back in about 1960-64 were real treasures. And to reconnect some 30 years later was so special. Randy, Bill, and Annice, we share in your sorrow. We are grateful for wonderful memories. We plan to attend the funeral. With love, Charlie, Sam, and Cole also.
