Dear Barry,  You have my heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences on the loss of your precious Anneli.  How lucky you were, and how highly you valued her, come through the stirring life tribute you posted.  I marvel at how beautifully you planned your life together and how well it worked out until illness intervened. "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson, quoted on a treasured, unused condolence card. "Trusting the Lord will comfort and hold you in this time of sorrow," it says.

Over the years, we did not see each other often, but when we did, she was so lively and enthusiastic. Bob and I will always remember her dazzling smile which lit up her entire face. We will also remember how she loved to take photographs. She will be missed. Condolences to Barry, her family, and friends.

Dear Barry, Anneli was a very lovely woman. Although we did not live near you, when you came up north for a visit, Anneli was full of warmth and vitality. Her smile and outgoing personality were infectious. She touched the lives of everyone she met. Anneli will be missed by all that knew her.
