We were sorry to hear about Anne. We have many good memories of her and your Dad in our time together buying and developing our acreages. Your Mom was such warm welcoming person-we are glad we knew her.
Auntie Anne meant so much to all of us, and we will all miss her. Auntie Anne was a wonderful story-teller, and I loved her stories about when our parents were growing up. She was so interested in people, and she had such a knack for weaving her thoughts into captivating stories. Once she moved into the Aspen Lodge, it was such a privilege to hear her empathetic observations about her new friends there. Even when she was recently sick in the hospital, she had time to enjoy her 99-year-old room-mate. I talked with Auntie Anne on the phone after the death of her only brother, my Dad, and she told me so many heart-warming stories about Dad and their time as children. Auntie Anne was enormously proud of her three children and her three grandchildren – they are the light of her life. You were a great lady Auntie Anne.
We only met your mom once at Giant Head Winery in Summerland and remember what a gentle soul she was. Mary, our thoughts are with you at this sad occasion. With love from John and Jinny.
