The God-Mother of my only son, Anna has a special place in my family. We became friends in the late 1980’s-early 1990’s and since then our friendship has survived time and distance. Her last trip to Jamaica was a special one. She spent time at my home and we had a fabulous time, from eating fish at Hellshire to a drive through tour of Mandeville and her meeting my Dad for the very first time.
I visited her a month before her passing and that was the best short trip of my life. I got to hug her one last time!
I am beyond happy to have known this gem of an individual. An extraordinary friend and confidant. I will treasure the memories of her. She will be forever in my heart.
Sleep in peace my friend, till we meet again.
Anna my dear, i miss you so much we loves to talk about the Psalmis our favorite was was psalms 23 and 100 two of the most beloved and iconic psalms its a powerful expression of trust,comfort and guidance, what resonate with me the most is psalms 23 that speak to our heart.Rest well my neice until getting up morning i love you.
Anna WOW the first time I went to her home to help take care of her.she address me with her beautiful smile that she always wear.. I was not only her caregiver Ms Anna was a true friend we shared many talks about The Most High God.. and praise God together.even when I couldn’t work with her anymore due to my lower back and my knees going up and down her stairs we still kept in contact.. when I could I would help with doing her hair.anna would worry about my back and my knees.. Anna would also give me some good advice about my growing son..and boy Anna and I would laugh together most of the time until we both have tears running down our face. The condition Anna was in she found time to always be there for her family and friends.everytime we got to see one another I made sure when I had to leave she would have been laughing unconditionally.. Anna will be missed I just wish I could have massager hair for her one more time.. Sleep in heaven our dear Anna
With our deepest and heartfelt condolences.
My heart is broken after receiving a message of her passing. I didn’t know her very well but the brief moments we shared were always warm and kind. Her presence were comforting and she had a way of making those around her feel valued and respected. Her gentle spirit will be remembered by all who had the privilege of meeting and spending time with her. She is now resting and are relieved of her pain and suffering. My thoughts are with her dad, families and friends during this difficult time.
Anna and I were first cousins but we were more like sisters as we grew up together. She has the beautiful smile that I can carry in my heart. Anna was a quiet person but loves to smile. She has a beautiful aura that lights up a room. She loved her sugar canes. She was a wonderful person inside and out. She was gone too soon. I loved my cousin so much and she will be sadly missed but won’t be forgotten. May she rest in perfect peace.
We are members of Anna’s prayer group who pray with her online on Thursday nights. We’d look forward to her joining us each week as we praise the Lord and intercede for others.
Her sweet voice is already missed. We pray strength for her family and friends.
Anna, my sister friend. I will never forget our many trips on Saturday mornings to every new construction site of apartments and townhouses around Kingston. Our hope was to find one we could afford.
Her enthusiasm for live, her warm heart and free spirt and that infectious smile would always warm my heart.
The last moments we shared when I visited her prior to her passing will forever be etched in my heart. She was still displaying that fighting spirt not to mention that smile. We shared a lot over the years, never to be forgotten. She will remain forever in my heart.
Rest well my sister friend.
My thoughts go out to her father, families and friends
So sorry to hear..Our Deepest Condolences to the family and friends of Anna. May God comfort you in your time of bereavement.
Sleep in Eternal Peace Anna

My dear sweet Anna. We met at work at the Revenue Board, Jamaica around 1989 and have been friends since then.
It was through Anna that Beverly Johnson, who worked for her family, started working for our family in the early 1990’s. Beverly is still with us after so many years and is considered part of the family.
Anna was such a humble, loving and caring person. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was outwardly. There was no pretense about her. It was on a Saturday afternoon in 2022 while I was waiting in the car for my mother who was at the supermarket that Anna called and told me about her condition. I told my mother when she came back to the car and we both prayed with Anna. I didn’t get to visit her. However, I would call her or she would call me.
I miss you my dear Anna. I will forever cherish our friendship. You’re now in the presence of our heavenly Father! In the sweet by and by, we will meet on that beautiful shore!
I am very sad today because I have lost one of my best humble friend, especially reflecting on those early days of Trinity Chapel .You have definitely left a great void in my live.May your perpetual light continue to shine forever
Memories are more than thoughts of the past, For the love they capture brings a joy
that will last each day, with added peace and
Comfort to your Dad and family.love you Anna Aunt Monica,
Gone from our sight , But not from our hearts
Hello everyone,
I wanted to start by sharing how blessed I feel to have known Ms. Anna for almost my entire life. In many ways, she has been like family to me. Another fellow native of Jamaica, she embodied the determination and resilience of those striving to live the American dream.
Anna was a devoted child of God, following Him from her first breath to her last. Her unwavering faith is something I deeply admire and strive to emulate in my own life. Her strong connection with God is a goal I hope to maintain until the end of my days.
Having served in the military, I have encountered my share of loss, including that of a dear shipmate who tragically passed at the tender age of 23. These experiences, while heart-wrenching, have strengthened my resolve to seek solace in God’s plans. Funerals are difficult for me because they feel so final. I often find myself asking God why He takes the strong, the faithful ones so early. It reminds me of the story of Job and his questions to God. But I believe that God has purposes beyond our human understanding, and for those taken early, there must be a higher calling.
We are guided by faith, not by sight. Trust in God, and we will see her again. I find comfort in the belief that while she is absent from the body, she is present with God! Praise God, for she is now in the Promised Land, free from pain and suffering. She is an angel, flying high with her wings.
Thank you for allowing me to share these thoughts.
Respectfully,
Shauna-Kaye Simms
I’m so sad my friend is gone. You will be missed, but you will be forever be in my heart. A beautiful soul. Margaret Ade
Nine years since God placed you in my life. Not in a million years would I have thought I’d be saying goodbye to a friend. God knew what He was doing. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss talking to you on the phone for hours or sitting at your house laughing and watching crazy stuff on YouTube and Netflix. I knew I could talk to you about anything and you would respond and say, “hush.” I would always greet you with hugs and kisses on your cheek or forehead, and when I left, I would tell you I loved you. You were more than a friend to me. You were also part of my family. You were always there for me, no matter what time it was. You believed in me, encouraged me to keep moving forward, and you were a safe haven for me, never judging me, and for that, I thank you. You had a way with words. I miss you so much. There’s so much we didn’t get to talk about. I love you, Anna. I know you will be watching over me. You will live on in my heart. My angel. Twanda (Bendolph) Pugh
I was introduced to Ms. Anna by her dearest, God blessed friend Ms. Cynthia. As a Realtor, I represented Ms. Anna as she purchased her beautiful home. Ms. Anna was well loved and with her love for others, we can rest assure that God has provided a better home for her in heaven.
Hearing about your loss has deeply saddened me, but a gem as special as Anna can never be forgotten and we’ll take solace that she’s in a better place in God’s comfort and Resting In Peace.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Anna,
You were one of the best co workers i have ever worked with. It wasn’t hard to consider you family. When you laughed you made the whole room laugh and if you cried we would cry right with you. You had such an impact on everyone. I hope you know how much we love you. I never wanted good-bye to be a reality. That will always be a struggle for me but never will i forget you. Sleep in peace Anna 😇
Heart felt condolences to Anna’s family. You were a special person. We can’t imagine how come you’re gone, we have to trust the Lord.
You will be missed Anna.

I will not forget you, Anna
I will not forget that I knew you since I started high school – many moons ago-you- my neighbor four houses down the street
I will not forget that you had a calm demeanor
I will not forget that you were a good listener
I will not forget that you were a hard worker
I will not forget your joy at the success of others
I will not forget your care and concern when troubles were shared
I will not forget the many times that we prayed together
I will not forget the many Bible verses of reassurance and assurance that we shared
I will not forget that we cried together so many times
I will not forget your sincere smile and your heartfelt praise
I will not forget the many stories that we shared
I will not forget your happiness when I shared pictures of Canada nor your fear and concern of the cold Canadian winters
I will not forget your smile
I will not forget your laughter

I will not forget our last visit days before you went to rest.
I will not forget when we hugged and cried and prayed on that final visit

I promise that
I Will Not Forget You.
Remembering Anna in our minds and in our hearts. With much love,
My sweet dear Anna, thank you for always being so kind and thoughtful towards me. Getting to know you as a friend has meant the world to me. Our time chatting about life and dreams were a favorite of mine. May God provide a clear path for you to guide and watch over your loved ones. To your Tribe, the ones we love and appreciated their unconditional care and love for you, the ones we often spoke about with great admiration, may God’s glory continue to support you during this difficult time. To the family, thank you for the blessing of this wonderful woman and may God keep you during this time of mourning. Is God good?? As Anna would always say to me “Yeah Mon”
Always and Forever your neighbor and friend…D-
With thoughts of peace and courage for you, thoughts of Anna will always bring a smile to my face.
My condolences to the Williams family!
It’s been more than 2 decades ,since Anna and I became friends. Our friendship began shortly after we met in a NY College. I was saddened about the news of her being gone.The thought of no other chance ,to see or speak with her has been disheartening.One thing, that comforts me , is the Lord called her home, to give her rest from pain and suffering.
I will forever be grateful for having met my friend Anna. All the great memories we had, will be cherished for a lifetime. My family had the opportunity to meet her as well .She spent sometime with us , in Jersey. Anna was caring, kind , soft spoken and loved the Lord.Whenever we spoke on the phone , God was always part of our conversations. She never lost hope despite her battle.May you rest in perfect peace my dear friend!

I met my sister friend Anna at my 2nd workplace many years ago in Jamaica. I quickly realized her gentle nature was accompanied by genuine care. We developed a lifetime bond. Although we lived in different countries in later years, we would still share and laugh about past and current experiences and our mutual love of reading during many phone calls. Anna had a comforting voice and infectious laugh. I will miss our chats and I will forever cherish our last conversation.
Anna, my heart hurts writing this but just know that I love you girl, fly high and free and take your rest.
My sincere condolences to Anna’s family and friends during this difficult time.
I remember when I was small, Anna took care of my older brother and I went my mom was pregnant with our first little sister. She would cook for us, get us ready for bed, and gave us ice cream when we promised to behave well. Anna was an incredibly kind woman.
I remember as a child Anna was there for me and my family. When my mom was in the hospital she took the time to take care of us, she treated us very well. She would cook for us, entertain us and take us to bed. Anna was selfless and kind to all of us.
As a kid, I remember Anna and my mother having a sister like relationship even though they were cousins. I remember bonding over meals which was followed by laughter. Laughter so deep and hard the veins in Anna’s forehead would stand out at inside jokes only her and mom understand. Memories are gems given to us by our loved one which keep them alive in our hearts.
Fly my love, Fly high into our Father Mother Gods loving arms – the peace that passes all understanding. In light and love!
My dear Anna, my friend for twenty plus years, I am so thankful to the CREATOR for allowing our paths to cross. I can still see that smile, I can still hear the sounds of that distinct calming voice. You are missed and you will always be remembered for as long as time last for me. Sleep in peace my forever Friend.
Condolences to Anna’s family, relatives, and friends in this time of bereavement.
Unbelievably!!!! It’s been a year. it was a Saturday morning one year ago, my heart sank, I trembled as I watched the end.
Today it seems and feels like a never ending dream.
Continue to sleep on my friend as you spar with the angels.
Heaven is better than this!!!!
