My sympathy to all the family. It is so difficult to lose a mother and grandmother. Anne had a long life, but you always want another day with her to tell her about your experiences. Keep talking to her. I believe she will hear you.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Anna Wheaton. Joe and Joann you are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Anna was such a pleasant person to visit. Living here in central Missouri, we didnt get to visit as often as we should. I will always appreciate her advise.
Just remember all the great times you had with her.
