Aunt Anne always had an encouraging word for me as a young lad and she was a gracious host at Christmas time. Please accept condolences from me and my family.

I feel lucky that I got an opportunity to take care of you Anne , I still remember our conversation , you shared your cultural values with me , your favourite meal prep , Red colour was your favourite you always loved flowers. Thank you so much for everything ❤️ It is very bitter truth to accept that Anne is no more but wherever she is I am sure she would be still smiling and showering her blessings to us.
Aunt Anne was always a part of my life. She and my Mom (Geogina) were sisters. Our two families were lucky to spend lots of time together when we were young. In more recent years, I was privileged to drive my Mom down to visit Aunt Anne and Uncle Fred and loved to listen to their stories while they reminisced.
She will be dearly missed.
Anne was my mother-in-law. She was a gracious lady who always served me tea with a food item that she had lovingly baked. In recent years, my husband and I were able to bring HER a coffee and donut on our weekly visits. She loved seeing Gilbert (attached photo) and my young pups. Anne always asked me about school and the kindergarten students that I teach. She was a huge advocate of education, particularly post-secondary, and she encouraged her children and grandchildren to obtain a college or university degree. They ALL did aspire to be their best by pursuing higher education. My daughter continues to go to school, doing her PhD and LLM. I think she heard her grandmother’s voice (and mine) and followed the path of success. Thank you Anne. I will miss our visits, our talks, and your tea. Maybe you can do this with your sisters now.
I will deeply miss my grandmother. I have many fond memories as a child baking cakes and decorating gingerbread houses with her, and now as an adult whenever I bake or make gingerbread houses, I think of her. She loved to cook and now I too, also love to cook and endeavour to be as good as cook as she once was. She and my grandfather also taught me how to play several card games, such as 'Crazy 8's' 'Snap' and 'No See Em,' how to set a dinner table properly, and on Easter would hide eggs throughout the house for me to find. She did all the things grandmothers are traditionally meant to do and so much more, and those will be memories I carry with me for the rest of my life. She loved seeing our pups and always loved to hear about my (many) cats and what I have been up to, and she was always very supportive of my education and my goals. I am appreciative of the time I got to spend with her and the many fun-filled hours spent at her home growing up. She is now at peace with her sisters, including my lovely Aunt Georgina, but we will never forget her and her spirit. I will miss you Grandma.
Although we lost touch with each other over the years, I have fond memories of times spent with Anne and my brother Fred. Anne will be truly missed. My deepest sympathies.

Mom had a full life, celebrating every holiday and life events with her children, grandchildren and her great grandchildren. Her pets were family and her grand pups were no exception. She loved unconditionally never missing an opportunity to hug her grandchildren. Many memories and moment flood back and fill my heart with her love as she would have wanted. Years ago she made me promise that when she passed I would read her favourite poem as a memorial. The Daffodils, by William Wordsworth. Although the poem talks about loneliness, it also reminds us of the joy in solitude and contentment of enjoying nature as it is. Mom loved everything about nature, birds, flowers and animals alike. This is for you Mom with forever love. -Suzanne, Ricardo and Charlie
My mother was a real pet lover. She loved her cats and all of her grand-dogs. My mom loved to see our dogs every Sunday, particularly during the long days of Covid when we would visit. She will be missed by her fury friends and we will miss her.
