I met Anna when Tim's family hosted me up at their cabin in Michigan. The first time I saw her she was paddling along in her kayak -- such an inspiring and active lady! Tim spoke very highly of her. My deepest condolences to the Rossiters and everyone who knew Anna.

Grandma has been a true inspiration to many of us who know her! Her confidence and positiveness are well told in her beautiful smiles and her kindness. Grandma's generosity of her love and her popular sticky buns will forever be in our memory.

There will be a very big void in our space in the U.P. She was easy to love and I so enjoyed our morning coffee talks in her cabin. I somehow took comfort in knowing she was always there next door in the woods.My love and condolences to all of you and I'm so sorry I cannot be at the service but take great peace and happiness in knowing she lived a very full and wonderful life...
