She raised a big flower garden and provided live cut flowers for the church during the summers.

Dear Peggy, Lyle and extended family of AnnaLe, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. AnnaLe was such a loving, kind, and thoughtful toward all. She will be missed by so many. The Waters family were dear friends of my Mother and her parents and the gift of a long life was Anna Le's special blessing to so many. So many precious memories. May God comfort you all now and in the days ahead.
With love,
Shirley and Family

We are sorry we could not attend the service. We always enjoyed our visits with her and admired her smile and attitude. Nice I got to see her recently at the Country.
Would have sent a card, but do not know your address.

From Tastee Freeze days and high school I had no connection with AnnaLe. Then I moved my Mom into the Country Home last spring and things changed. What a pleasure it was for me to see AnnaLe again and sit next to her at meals and visit when I went to Malta to see Mom several times since her move. She will be missed!
