Dear Gil,
I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Anita. We never know why the Lord calls such special people to their eternal home so early yet we know He has a plan. May you & your family take comfort with all the wonderful memories you all hold dear. She will always be with you. I did not know your wife only through our conversations yet I see through your messages what a wonderful woman she was.
God Bless you all.
Hugs,

Anita was truly a beautiful woman. I enjoyed her energy and sprit as a coworker. I will always remember she once told me when the devil comes knocking at your door say “God would you get that for me”
