When I read about Anna's death, I almost couldn't believe it! She was a girl I went to school with. Anna's family lived around the corner from the home where I grew up.
I had no idea that Anna had serious heart issues. The last time I saw her, she looked very healthy. Of course, we didn't discuss our health problems or anything like that. Anna was very good natured and she was happy to see me, again.
Anna came to Tawas Village about ten years ago, an assisted living home where I was employed. I was so glad to see her, after all those years:) Her best friend Kathy was with her, they were visiting Kathy's mother a resident at Tawas Village.
Today, I read about Anna's death in our local funeral home's obituaries. She passed away on April 30, 2024 at Medi-lodge. This is a nursing home in Tawas City.
This really saddened my heart

@kobesbuddy - I feel sorry when I learn of someone I knew and who passed, even if we did not met from years.

It shocked me, to see her name in the obituary! She moved back to East Tawas, a few years ago.

This is what I learned, that Anna had a very strong faith in God! I read this in her obituary and felt so much better:) Anna was 73 years old

It always is sad when our friends pass away, Sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend who live here beneath me in an apartment last June and now I can hardly believe that it will be a year since she passed,
