My deepest sympathy goes out to the Anderson Family. Aunt Ree as she was affectionately known by many will be truly missed. Thanks to my best friend Elaine "Lanie" Harper I had the pleasure of meeting Aunt Ree and Uncle Jim. Those two showed me how a husband and wife had what it took to have a successful blessed marriage. Aunt Ree accepted me as her niece. I thank God that I was blessed to be welcomed in their home and in her life. Uncle Jim I know you have a lifetime of memories. You now have your own personal Angel and her name is Marie Helen Anderson. Forever will I thank God for Aunt Ree...she was my girl.. Love Renae "Pookie Holmes. 3-7-22
