We miss Anna more and more every day, but feel blessed to have had her
in our lives.
She was bold and brilliant.
Anna excelled at everything she did whether it was in school, sports,
game nights, dance parties, or making people laugh. She was a natural
leader, compassionate friend, faithful servant, obedient child, and
wonderful sister to her three precious younger siblings.
She was encouraging and radiant.
Anna was unique in many ways, but especially in the way she loved
others so deeply. She not only told many people she loved them, she
showed others what Christ-like love looks like. Her pursuit of Jesus
was undeniably eager and exuberant. Through her legacy, she continues
to encourage others to be more consistent, joyful, passionate, and
thankful.
She was intentional and thoughtful.
Anna's genuine spirit touched many and will live on forever. "When you
create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life,
you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their lifetime."
Anna left an inspiring legacy here on Earth, for those that knew her
are forever changed by her love. As Anna said "...Drop what the world
deems as acceptable and do something spectacular – love one another."
And most importantly, she will always be a child of God.
If you ask people who knew Anna to describe her, the first thing they
will tell you is about her faith. Anna was and continues to be a
believer in Jesus Christ as she is rejoicing with the angels, and
spending eternity with the one who made her. And for those who share
the same faith in Jesus Christ, I am confident we will be reunited
with her in a place far better than we can begin to imagine.
