Anita & I were very close high school buddies along with Guadalupe. Even though I always lived far away, when Bud and I would return to NM to visit my Mom, we would always try to visit. Then came the children and then even the grandchildren and Anita would host them, too. Hers was a very pure soul overflowing with kindness and love. She loved her children, grandchildren and friends. Would that her legacy of love for her fellow man spread throughout the Valley.

Anita, we shall forever cherish every encounter we had with you and aspire to again encounter you in Our Creators Home, where you surely now reside! You were always so gracious and would light up our lives whenever we met. Everything that comes from our Creator is a gift, but the gift you received when He extended His hand to You and Whispered Come with Me is the greatest invitation anyone will ever receive. Sad as it is to have to wait our turn, Our Savior Promised to gather us all to Him!
May our Dear Lord cuddle all your loving family now and always!

Lopez, Galvez and Guillen families: Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of a beautiful, kind, humble, courageous and generous lady. May Our Dear Lord bless you with His perfect peace and a sense of His presence in your heart every day.The compassion and kindness that Annie showed for all people she met serves as an inspiration. She was such a nice person to share a heartfelt conversation with. I will miss Annie, especially at art fairs where she shared her beautiful art of straw applique. Vaya Con Dios, Annie; you are loved....
