I met Anna many years ago when she and her family moved in across the road from us in welsh,la. Anna and I became great friends and our daughters Julia and Jennifer would play together as they were only a few months apart in age I have seen Anna through the years but not on a steady visitation I remember how hard she struggled trying to make it to nursing school In new Iberia at lSU e. She was an outstanding person, friend to all she met , mother, daughter and sister. Along with her bragging everytime I did see her about her children and grandchildren she always had a big hug for me and I truly loved her as a friend. She was beautiful inside as well as outside and I will never forget you Anna. This is a horrible thing that has taken you away but you and Julia can watch down from heaven on the children and family. I love you Anna and I did leave a message for Julia. I am crying for you and will cry when I visit you and julia at the funeral home tomarrow. I just wish we could have stayed in contact more through the years. Goodbye dear friend. Gone but never forgotten
I remember Anna when she worked for Dr. Varela. She was a very sweet person and she will be missed. God bless her and her family.
I worked with Anna at the Welsh Nursing Home several years ago. She always had a smile on her face and could brighten up a room by just her presence. Heaven has gained another Angel. My love goes out to you, Anna and my heart goes out to her family in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
MOMMA ANNA YOU ARE GOING TO BE MISSED SO MUCH YOU WERE SO LOVED BY EVERYONE YOU WERE MY OTHER MOMMA ILL MISS YOU BUT WHEN I LOOK UP ILL SEE YOU SHINNING DOWN…
My heart is so broken over this news. Anna was a wonderful and beautiful person. She always had big smiles and hugs. I love you Anna and you'll never be forgotten – Susan Braquet
My Promise to you Anna and to you Julia:I will allow myself to feel.No, I will make myself feel.Even if this pain in my chest never subsides; I welcome it.I will not disgrace your beautiful lives by begging for relief or peace.I will carry this grief proudly, as a scar on my heart, in your honor.I will let myself scream.I will scream out loud and deep inside.I will scream and cry up at the sky blaming it for taking you too soon.AND I will scream for Justice.I will cry and I will cry often.Time will go on and I will continue to cry for your children, your brothers and sisters, your friends and family.But today I am being selfish, I am crying for myself.I want you both here for my own reasons. Instead of pushing those reasons aside, today I will cry for each one of them.I cry because I wont be able to ever hear your voice again.I cry because I know eventually there will come a day that I no longer even remember what it sounds like.I cry for the time when I can no longer remember every detail about you so vividly and I need to rely on a picture to remind me.I cry for all the times I know I will need you and you wont be there.Most of all I cry for all the times I took you for granted; putting off till tomorrow what I should have said today.I never knew I wouldnt get the chance. I will make sure to remember.I will remember the way your smile lit up every room.I will remember the times we talked and our laughter spread (loudly) like wildfire, drowning out everyone else around us.I will remember the vibrant way you lived each second to its fullest.And I will remember you would want me to do the same.My tribute to both of you:As time goes on and my feeble mind fails me; I will never forget just how much I love youLOve Sara, Chris, Zak, Gabbie, and Emily Parsley
