I got to know Anne at the Barn Dance this year. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was the first resident who I went to visit, and I thank her for that. She helped me to realize the importance of volunteering. My deepest sympathy to the family. - Posted by: Dayna (volunteer at Holy Family Home) on: Feb 26, 2012

Anytime I would happen to bump into her she always had a beautiful smile to share and kind words to extend. She was truly a blessing in the world. May God's richest blessings be with her and you as you face these difficult days ahead. - Posted by: Marilyn Enns (nee Krawchuk) () on: Jan 19, 2012

Auntie Anne was a favourite aunt of mine. She had such a kind nature and a twinkle in her eye. She loved her children and her pets without bounds. Even though I live far away and could not visit very often I remember the times I spent with her and will miss her. I know she is watching over me and I will always remember her. - Posted by: Debby and Graham Laporte (Neice) on: Jan 19, 2012
