I worked with Anita many years at Penney’s. I always enjoyed
her company. When my sister-in-law was sick with cancer my brother wrote letters about her illness. I shared those letters with Anita. She gave me comfort when Kathy passed away. God called Anita home and she is in glory! I will miss her but have great memories. In deepest sympathy Barb Bialecki
