Tributes
"Anna and Family , I was a friend of Onna's from the Humana transplant dept. , aNd more recently on Facebook . I knew she was having surgery last month , but was unaware of all the complications she had afterwards . I was so shocked and sad when I read in her fb site tonight about Onna's passing away . I am so sorry for you and your families loss of Onna . I will keep Onna and you all, in my prayers . Onna put up a goof fight , with all she endured , especially the last few years . It doesn't minimize the pain you are feeling as her twin and sister , or your families pain , but I'm convinced that Onna is now happily reunited in a Heaven with Bob , where we shall all reunite 1 day . Best regards and may god bless and watch over you all . Caryl Armand"
