Anna will forever be remembered for her very beautiful smile. She lit up the room anywhere she went. Her heart was made of gold she cared for all humans and creatures.

As a special note, Anna also had cousin named Trent Dimas whom won a Gold medal in 1992 in the Barcelona Spain Olympics, as a gymnast on Horizontal Bar.
