Anna Sandstrom Anita with her first grandchild Tommy, in Helsinki

Sema Gurun I think my late sister Seba took these pictures in the early 70's. Anita's love of horses, dogs and cats were a delight to watch. I remember her feeding her horse through the kitchen window which was in front of the kitchen sink in that wonderful old house in Armonk that she and Suha lived in. Rezan's paternal grandmother and my maternal grandmother were cousins.

Sema Gurun Wish I knew the name of the horse. A late fall picture probably circa 1973.

Nicholas French Carole and I met Anita in 1995 when we emigrated to the USA. We lived in North Greenwich in a beautiful cottage on a hill. After an extensive search for a tennis club we came across Armonk Tennis Club where we found the most amazing staff and members. We met Anita at the tennis club and immediately we had an amazing connection. My work is in the hair and beauty industry and demanded extensive global travel. Carole in a new country and on her own most of the time Anita took it upon herself to take Carole under her wing and to teach Carole tennis. She became a second mother to her. Anita was a great tennis teacher and player. She was also an amazing artist. She was one of the most generous, kind and loving person that we met in the USA. She was so supportive during our transitional period. She will never be forgotten and will be in our hearts forever. We will miss her terribly. Carole and Nicholas French xxxxx

Denise LeVan Anita and I sang together for many years starting with the Ogden Booker Chorale in the 1980s, then later soloists at the Lutheran Church in Greenwich with organist Gertrude Riska, and, most importantly, singing at Rezan's annual holiday party where Anita and I always sang a duet of Purcell's "Sound the Trumpet" (just thinking of it makes me smile). Anita was a loving person with a deep concern for family and friends. I will always treasure her as a friend. Denise LeVan
