Posted on: Monday, February 25, 2019When I first saw your post on Facebook I didn’t realize this was your sister. I am so sorry you have this loss. I don’t have a sister myself but I understand the bond that sisters have. I also understand that all the words of sympathy do not really make thigs better but the things that do help is time, family and the knowledge that your friends are there for you when you need them. May God speed the healing process, may your family always understand your pain and may your friends always be there.

Elaine Harman
Posted on: Thursday, February 28, 2019I have many great memories of myself and Anita chatting about our dogs. My heart goes out to her and her love for her dogs. She did everything she could to ensure they were healthy and loved. Cried when Jamie passed and I didn’t even know him, but Anita passed his personality onto me, so I felt like I knew him.
She will be greatly missed by the canine world but more importantly by myself and all her friends.
Chris, many condolences to you and you family.

Posted on: Thursday, April 4, 2019Hello Wilson friends ( aka former church family & church camp partners-in-crime ).
Typing through tears with the sad news of Anita’s passing. Big love to all you Wilson’s, Chris & all Anita’s fur loves. My heart is heavy typing this message as the film reel of years of making memories with Anita begins to play from age 8 on (soundtrack, Purple Rain, Florida in our young teens).
Fond memories of matching outfits, learning to drive stick through Kemptville in Howard’s black Jeep (first gear), our first pair of shorts, Florida (thanks dads), singing & dancing to Prince and so, so & so many more fantastic (& some xxx) memories. Love you, Nina. xoxo
