Dear John, Mary, Hayley, Gary and families,

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother – Anne. I will miss my little sister and our shared memories of life with mum and dad in the ‘early years’ before the other 8 came along! Anne is much loved and much missed.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, and my sympathy,

Phil (Philomena) and family.

Dear Mr. Braine, Mary Anne and Mike, and all the family,

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your wife and mother. She is a great loss to you all but she has also left alot of herself in each and everyone of you.

I know the days ahead will be filled with a feeling of loss but it will also be filled with great memories and love. She was a great woman. I will always think of her warmly.

My prayers go with you,

Love and hugs, Patti Haughian

My Dear John, Mary and Mike, Hayley and Ken, Gary and Diana … please accept our condolences for the loss of Anne – a much loved wife, mother, grandmother, auntie and sister.

We have lovely memories of her visit with us especially when she and Chris went out one dark night scattering poppy seeds in the English hedgerows because they thought there should be more! Ever after she called Chris ‘Poppy’ and that was how she addressed any mail to us. She also instructed me, in December, to go to the garden centre in spring and buy some poppies for Chris to put in the garden.

My memories of Anne span my whole life, she was my ‘big sister’ and I have much to thank her for. When someone is so loved they live still, in the hearts of those who love them.

Be at peace Anne, a thousand blessings on you.

With our love,

Poppy and Margaret

Dear John and Mary, I would like you to know how very much I am going to miss my big sister Anne.

I only reconnected with her when mum died, as we live at opposite sides of the world (I am in Australia).

Although it was a long time we just picked up where we left off. Magic, really!

Thinking of you all, with much love.

John,Mary,Mike,Haley,Ken,Garry,Diana and families,

Our love and condolences are with you. Anne is in good hands now,

content and much cherished. She was a much loved sister and will remain in our hearts and thoughts.

Love and Hugs,

Alandra and Daye

To all the Braine family,

We were so sorry to hear of Aunty Anne’s passing and hope you can take comfort in all of your lovely memories of her. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Love and deepest sympathy,

To John, Mary, Haley, Gary, spouses and far too many to mention,

Deepest sympathies and condolences on the passing of Anne.

I didn’t know your soulmate/mum/goodmother/gran/friend and confidant in a’ time spent’ sense (me – born 58, she flew the nest in 59).

I can only mention early 02 when she came back for Gran Thornbury.

Allison, my wife, and I were lucky enough to have her visit with us and to spend a few hours graced by her company. She was gracious, funny, loving, open, honest, humble and thoroughly entertaining. In fact, she got on with Allison better than I do!

Wish we’d known her better, hope we will in the future.

If it’s not too ‘lassie-ish’ then I’d like to paraphrase someone “…….she’s gone they whispered mournfully, as her ship slipped over the horizon, but, on the other side the joyful cry went up ‘She’s Here!’ ”

God Bless.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Anne’s passing. We will both miss her: she was a loving sister and caring aunt, and we have fond memories of the time she spent with us in Scotland. May she rest in peace.

Our thoughts are with you, and you have our deepest condolences.

With love and in sympathy,
