I don’t know if you remember me but I took your wedding pictures. I was Jan Miller’s neice. Although I had only met Anita a couple of times, I knew she was a good and generous woman. I even threw her a bachelorette party at Jan’s house! She was so sweet and very much in love with Dave. My prayers for your healing are with you always. I know it doesn’t help to hear that she isn’t hurting anymore and she is in a better place, because you want her here with you, but it helps to ease your mind when you can finally get around the fact that she has really died, and that takes awhile. Healing takes awhile, allow yourself to grieve and heal.
God Bless you all,
