So very sorry to hear of the loss of sweet Anna. I met her about 3 1/2 years ago when my mother was at Mercy Rehab., and she was such a bright spot in my moms life as she always looked out for her. I enjoyed getting to know Anna as I would chat with her every day I visited my mother. She was such a delightful and happy gal who will be missed dearly. My father would chat with her about the days of the meat market when he went there and my brother loved to joke and play Bingo with her. Such fond memories. Deepest sympathies to all of you!

Robert so very sorry to learn of your mother's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of Wolf's Meat Market. We miss it to this day! Your folks were so warm and funny. Sure wish I could get flank steak like I did way back when you'all asked me what did I use it for.... lol. Hope you will find comfort in the memories of a life well lived.
