It has been 6 months, and we all continue to miss Anna.  As many of you know, Anna signed up to be an organ donor and we received a letter from a family that received a kidney.  They were really grateful for her gift.  

Anna, we love you and know we will see you again.

Dad

I love you anna. I miss you every day. I pray every day about you I know you found peace in heaven. You were so pure of heart and beautiful. It was 3 months ago today that the world lost you , that I lost you. I try ever day to live up to what you would want for me. I miss being with you. I miss your beautiful laugh and smile. Your warm and sweet heart. I will always love you.

I am working on a permanent memorial for anna, it can be found at
http://transiency.org/anna.html

It will start out bare and featureless but i intend to work on it and give it guestbook signing, photo galleries, stories, etc.

I first met Anna when we were in high school and considered her a best friend during that time. Thereafter our closeness regrettably dissipated over time, and I'll always regret having not done something about it before her death. She was an overall euphoric person with a contagious happiness that was so remarkably constant as to be profound. I do not have a single negative or unhappy memory of her. RIP, Anna

I am very saddened to hear about Anna.I knew Anna as my daughter's swim coach at Santa Clara Swim club.. She was the best.  Our sympathy go to Sandoval Family.. She will be dearly remembered.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Anna. She taught my child at the SC Swim school. She was such a wonderful and dedicated coach. Always so nice and always encouraging the kids to do their best. My deepest condolences to her family.

Dear Peter,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Anna, your daughter. Please know you have my deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to you and your family

I hope the passage of time will help ease your sadness and leave you with happy memories.

Your family are in my thoughts and prayers

With my sincere sympathy

Anna was one of my students this quarter at De Anza. She was truly a lovely young woman - intelligent and gifted - she was a true light in my classroom and I will miss her - her insight and promise. My heart goes out to all of you in her family. She was a special person.

I loved her so much, there is no one like her, and there never will be anyone like her again. She was the sweetest most creative most loving person I have ever known. I will forever miss you, Anna. You were perfect in every way. My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends.

 I'm saddened to have lost such a wonderful friend. Anna was so sweet, kind and interesting. I'll cherish all the fun times we've spent together in art class. I feel so lucky to have meet her and be her friend even though it was a short time. I'll always keep her in my heart and treasure the art work she made for me.

In the brief time i worked with Anna at Le Boulanger we became friends and she would always talk with me. She will always be in my memories.She is a great loss to the world. she was very smart and well spoken and had a genuine heart.
i send my condolences to the family. May you find strength.

Dearest Liz, Peter, and Paul,
Please know that we are holding all of you in our hearts and prayers.  Anna's friendship was a profound gift.  She touched our entire family with her laughter and generosity, and most of all, with her remarkable kindness.  We love her.  And we love you. 

---Diane, Jim, Adam, and Steven

Pete, Liz, and the Sandoval and Kane families:

Our hearts break for you--you and Anna are in our prayers.

My deepest condolences to the entire Kane and Sandoval family.

I had the wonderful pleasure of knowing and working with Anna at the Santa Clara Swim Center on several occasions and remember how we always managed to share a few early morning laughs before we started our day teaching many children how to swim. I will always remember how Anna enriched our lives with her infectious laugh, her smile and her wonderful bubbly personality. Many of the kids loved her for teaching them how to swim, for sharing a little piece of herself in making their lives better and so did we. I feel blessed having known her and she will be missed.

I didnt know Anna but hearing this story just breaks my heart my prayers go out to the family may God be with you

i pray god that Anna's soul rest in peace. Also pray that god give enough strength to Peter and his family to sustain the absence of Anna.

Liz, There are no words to relieve your tremendous heartache that you must be feeling for your beautiful Anna. May you find comfort in the memories you will cherish forever. Keeping you, Paul, and Peter in prayer.

Love you,

Although I didn't know Anna personally, seeing her picture and smile makes me feel as if I've lost a dear friend. May the worlds memory of her never fade. My condolences to her loved ones.

I knew Anna from frequenting the Le Boulanger where she worked. What a sad loss to our community. She made the best espresso drinks with a smile. I miss the conversations we had when I was a customer at Le Boulanger Los Gatos.  I remember he love for dogs and other animals.

Why did she have to go so soon? May she rest in peace and her family be blessed with the memories.  The customers at Le Boulanger  I'm sure miss her as well.

Anna, I didn't have the pleasure to meet you in this lifetime but I'm certain there is a new angel in heaven that will bring strength to your loved ones and continue enlightening wherever you are.

Pete and family, my prayers will be with you asking to replace your grief with all the joy Anna brought to your lives.

Peter,Liz and Paul,   May the Lord send special angels to comfort you with this sure knowledge that your loved one Anna is home and in the Lord's beautiful presence . Our Love, Thought's and Prayer's are with you. John and Stephanie Newbrough

Liz, Anna was a wonderful, expressive, and joyful young lady.  I will always treasure the memories of her and Madi playing at the houses and at the Jessica Simpson concert.   My heart and prayers are with you and the whole family.  She will be missed, I have been blessed by knowing her as i did.

My deepest, heartfelt condolences to Peter and family for Anna's untimely departure from our world. May her soul rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I will never forget you. You will always live in our hearts.
May you rest in peace.

We are very saddened to hear about the loss of Anna.  We will be praying for her family and friends during this difficult time.  Comfort each other.

Praying that God comforts you in your loss.  Things like this are so hard to understand.  I will remember Anna's smile and sweet demeanor.

I remember meeting Anna when she was about 3 or 4 years old. We were at our family reunion and all of the kids loved being in the pool but Anna seemed to love it more.  She was an adorable little girl and grew into a lovely young woman.  I know there are no words that can express how much she will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Anna was one of the most incredible, kind, and beautiful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  Her life has truly blessed mine.

May you rest in peace always..Leoni family

Dear Anna,
You left this earth way too soon, and I know that your family misses you very much! I also know that you have touched the lives of many people and shared beautiful memories with them. These memories will remain forever in the hearts of everyone you met. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". May you rest in peace!
Susanne Wilkins and Family

May she rest in peace.  My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

We are so sorry to hear the news.  There are no words...

Stay strong.  Love, Karen and Ivy Reynolds

I'm supposed to be one of the writers in the family, and even I have no idea what to say. What CAN you say? Anna was beautiful and loving, fun and energetic. We looked forward to when she was able to visit the reunion with her family, and were always sorry to see them leave. I can't even begin to express how much my heart aches for all of you. To Peter especially, please know that you are loved and thought of constantly out here, and that the hearts of your family, even far away, are with you now. I am so very sorry.

My love and condolences,
Kristy Eason (Platts)
