After discussion about Anita's wishes, the family has decided to hold a private service (spouse and children) at a later date.
While there wont be a public service, we know that family and friends from across the country are sending their love and praying. We are so thankful for all the support throughout this time.
We also specifically want to thank our families, and friends that have offered support in various ways, including visiting with Anita, offering their homes for other family to stay, bringing or sending food and care packages, and calling, facetiming, and texting encouragement and prayers!
Anita's purpose and mission in her fight was to try to help others, as shes done throughout her life.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate to help others in their fight, as Anita wanted to do-
Hope Lodge- Jacksonville, FL
*This beautiful 'lodge' provides patients and caregivers a place to stay while receiving cancer treatment. This lodge provided lodging for Anita and Pat while at Mayo to participate in clinical trial.
