I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Anna when I first moved to Savannah and she was among the first to make me feel welcomed. Her laughter, her humour, her zest for life made her a very special person. May she rest in peace; she will always be remembered by her many friends.

I just recently learned of your great loss. Your Mom was a very special person with a beautiful smile, kind work for all and made the best cheesecake for me whenever I was in Charleston. We will miss her, may she rest in eternal peace.

Neko and Toni: From our family to yours-we will sadly miss Anna. She was a joy in my world from high school through college to the present. Our visits to Charleston as my family grew in PA ALWAYS included a visit with Ms. C. Give us a call if you need anything. The world has lost a generous soul. Our thoughts are with you two.

Toni and Nick,
Troy and I were so saddened by the news of your mom, I just found out and was just in shock! I loved her like she was one of my own family! Not only was it a pleasure to be her hygienist, but I cherished each time that I was able to see her. I have always gotten close to my patients, maybe to a fault, but I feel like they make my purpose as a healthcare professional worth it! Your mom was such a blessing and I loved her sayings and loved her awesome sense of humor. She loved you both so much, and always said how proud she was of you both! I was so honored to know your mom as a patient, but I am much more grateful to say that she was my FRIEND!! May GOD hold you both during this time, and give you every memory of Ms. Anna's sweet smile in everything you both see and do. She is a part of both of you, and I must say that is something quite special! We love you both, and your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers!! LOVE ALWAYS,
CHRISTY AND TROY JOHNSON

I had the pleasure of working many years with Anna at the Charleston VA. As Agent Cashier, Anna worked with VA staff and patients. She consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. She did so, always with a smile. Anna was a jewel and I felt very lucky to have known her. May God Bless her family at this difficult time.

Dear Toni,
"Anna from Savannah" is certainly going to be missed and remembered by many of us. We have so very many fond memories of our growing up days in Savannah. She was a dear, sweet person with a one of a kind personality. Once you met her, you could never forget her. I never met your brother, but would you please extend my deepest sympathy to him from a close friend of Anna's from Savannah (now living in Durham). We still remember the wonderful time we had with you and your Mom at the Choir Conference in Charleston. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and may God be with you during this difficult time. May her memory be eternal.
Lots of love,
Helen Drakulis Koutouzakis
