Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Anna.
We valued her as a great Arbela neighbor to the Howell family.
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Donna and Family, Donald and Family. Just read your mother’s obituary in Memphis Democrat. Praying for all of you. I have fond memories of your parents and both of you. My wife, Christine and I would like to have been their for your mother’s viewing. We have lived in Brownsburg, Indiana for 28 years now. We don’t get back to Memphis very often. Memphis is 383 miles one from our home. We are hoping to get back for Ludwick Reunion the Sunday before fathers day and for my 67 class reunion in August. Take Care of yourselves. Deni
