I just wanted to take a moment to send our deepest condolences from both myself and all my employees. Having Anna as a neighbor for so many years was a true privilege and honor. She and Ledyrd always stood by our business and never complained about having a manufacturing company next door. We will miss our loving and caring friend who always saw the bright side of being our neighbor.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I didn't know your mother personally, but admired her work ethic. I work at Frazier and would often see her out tending to her immaculate yard on her Snapper lawn mower. I would also watch that wood pile diminish throughout the the winter. I will miss the fire smell at night that always would let me know it was ok to turn the heat on at home.
I am sorry for your loss.
