STARR, Anna Joelle "Smidge"October 5, 2001 to January 14, 2008. Anna
lived a joyful life of compassion, inspiration, strength and courage.
She was a little girl like any other, yet in many ways she was unique.
She loved princesses and Disney World. She touched the life of all
those around her. She taught us how to shrug off illness and love the
wonders of life. We will miss her deeply. Anna attended Gower
Elementary School and was excited to begin kindergarten at Akiva School
this fall in Nashville, TN. Anna was released from her lifelong
epilepsy while she slept on January 13th. She is survived by her
parents, Drs. Fred and Sarah Starr, and her brothers, Sammy and Boots.
Other relatives include Hon James and Julie Giddings of Williamston,
MI, Joyce and Eugene Starr of Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Melissa Giddings of
Baltimore, MD, Andrew Giddings of Mason MI, Shep and Risa (Starr)
Siegel of New York, NY, Larry and Shari (Starr) Yellen of Wycoff, NJ.

2008 from 6 until 8 p.m., at the Starr home at 7161 Forrest Oaks Drive,
