My heart is empty, though the tears keep flowing. Anita and I renewed our friendship just last spring and Anita gladdened my spirit, She was, perhaps, the most caring,loving person I have known. I had been looking forward to her recovery so we could share much more time together. Anita loved her wonderful family and was was loved so much by them...Dance with the fairies, Anita! You will always be in my heart
