Dear Angela and Family,
My heart is heavy for you at this time of loss. I just lost my Grams Anita this past December. She, too, had been sick for quite some time but it didn't make it any easier. Remember the lessons her life has taught you. They'll help guide you through the rest of your own journey. My Grams Anita left me with " Get on with the job of living kid and live for today". And because of her I'll have no problem doing that. Hoping you all will too.
Love to you Ang, Adam
Thank you, Dad & Shar, for being so gracious to all of us in your time of great sorrow. Please know that we deeply love you and support you in this difficult time. Do not hesitate to call upon any one of us for help.
Thank you again for all that you have done for us - recently and in the past.
I love you - Angi
I am sorry for your loss, I don't read the paper as well as I should, and didn't know about Anita's death till a few mins. ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family memebers, as it is hard to loose a family member. May your happy rememberances of her carry you all through this loss.
Shar, Charlie and all Anita's family,
Anita's death brings great sadness but at the same time brings lots of loving memories as we all got to know her over the past ten years when she visited her loving daughter and husband, Shar and Charlie, in Peachtee City. She always had a smile and brought great warmth and kindness to all she met. We enjoyed her stories which were filled with wisdom and spiced with a clever and unique wit. It is easy to see that she passed that wonderful part of her personality on to her daughter and, for that, we are thankful. The "girls" learned early on that Anita enjoyed playing cards, so we always tried to set aside a special evening for that fun time with her. We learned quickly that Anita was "sharp as a tack" and could hold her own in any card game so we had to really pay attention when it came to her. She won most of the time anyway!
Anita was so caring, thoughtful and loving. It was evident that she loved her family but she shared that with those around her as well. She always remembered to send cards and write notes straight from her heart especially during times of illness. The cards that I received during those times hold a special place in my heart.
We know that Anita's chronic illness brought her tremendous pain and suffering for the past couple years but we also know that she looked her illness straight in the eye and suffered it with grace and dignity knowing that she had a home with her Maker in the end. We are thankful that she went peacefully into the night without much further suffering. We are thankful that she got to talk to her family and know they were there with and for her before she passed. We are thankful for Anita, her full and well lived life and the memories she left behind. She lives forever in our hearts.
My God bless and comfort all Anita's family during this time of intense grief and sorrow.
In Loving Memory,
Joyce and Mickey Jones
Shar - I was very sorry to learn of your mother's sudden turn for the worse, and then, of course, her death. Know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and certainly for her. I cannot imagine the loss you must feel with her earthly departure, but bountiful memories and her sprit live on forever. I certainly wish I could have had the pleasure of having met her, but I suspect that I've a real good idea what kind of fine lady she was, if her daugher is any indication.
May God bless you and yours, and may she reap her rewards now and forever in the holy spirit. In Christian love, Greg Jones
Shar, You have our deepest sympathy. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Don and Jean Franks
I remember Russell and Anita well when I served them as their Pastor. They were faithful members of Trinity and I always enjoyed visiting with them.
Surely, heaven is populated with a couple more treasures.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Anita, I will miss you so much. You are a sweet, gentle, and kind lady. And also a very good poka player. Love and God Bless you. Pat Bishop
Dear Shar,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Love, Angela & Mort
