Sad today, Frank and Family, as we recognise the passing of your beautiful Anne. We regret we are unable to attend Anne’s service as our travel ability is restricted by personal health issues.
Frank…we have so enjoyed communicating with you and Anne over recent decades. You and Ken go back to early 1950s. We are so pleased with our enduring friendship!
Sincere sympathy to you all,

Dear Frank and family, so sorry to read that your lovely Anne has passed away. One memory that often comes to mind, especially when I’d see a Facebook post of Anne’s, highlighted clearly that Anne’s love for her family was huge. Anne wanted me to do a print, and the image was on Facebook, on her phone. I had no idea about Facebook, so Anne set to and showed me how to open a Facebook account. I was very impressed that a lady more senior than me, by 20 odd years, was teaching me about Facebook! All so I could print a family photo for her. I love this memory and always loved seeing Anne when Frank would bring her into my shop, such a cheerful lady. Frank, sending you a big hug and my deepest condolences to you and your family.
May you rest in peace and love Anne xx

We are so saddened by the passing of our wonderful neighbour and dear friend, Anne.

We will always cherish the good times, conversations, laughter and memories we shared with her over the years. Anne had such a warm heart and a love for family, cooking, baking, reading and literature.
We started as neighbours, but through the years our connections deepened. She was a truly special lady and will be so very missed.
With love,
Geneva & Krystal 🩷

So sorry that Anne has died. She was a great friend.. amazing knowledge of literature.. fiercely competative at scabble and crosswords. Loved dancing, and was almost always smiling and positive..
She has left behind happy memories, and a lovely family she was justly proud of.
She always wanted everyone to be the best person they could be.
My sincere condolences to you Frank and your family.
