Dear Sharfman Family,
I so remember your sweet mother with great fondness. Anita was always so kind and I loved the time, almost daily, that I spent with her when I came to walk your beloved Charlie. Even though I had not seen her in years, I thought of her often. Anita and your family will be in my prayers. With deepest sympathy,

Our condolences to you & your family. Aunt Anita was a wonderful women and we considered her part of the "Levin" family the moment she married my Uncle Lou. She will be sorely missed. I'm hoping she and Lou & my parents Florence & Bernie are out together enjoying each other's company again. Maybe at the blackjack tables or video poker machines. Love, Susan & Jeffrey Braun
