There are some people who have only stayed a short while on this earth, but have left remarkably deep footprints in our hearts forever.  Anna is definitely one of these beautiful people.  She is one of a kind, unique and special in a gentle, caring way.  Anna, no one will ever take your place in my heart.  I am sad because I know that I will not be able to see or talk to you in person anymore.  But I am comforted because I know that you are now in the loving, trusting hands of our precious Lord.  And our paths will cross as we meet again some day.  I do not know if I have told you often enough what a wonderfully true friend you are.  I want to thank God for granting me the opportunity to get to know you in the past year, and especially this summer.  You have taught me so many things, provided much support, and have become a dear sister to me.  You are an angel that represent love, joy, and serenity.  I miss you terribly, but I know that you are rested in a better place now.  I am speaking in the present tense because even though you have left this world, in my mind you are still here with me.
