ANNE BERNINA KNIGHT (nee WARLOW) February 6, 1947 - September 19, 2004 I left this earth happily embraced in the love of my family. I was born in England and met the love of my life, Geoff, in 1967, we married in 1969 and we were graced with birth of our daughter, Georgina, in 1973. We immigrated to Canada in 1974 and lived in Windsor, ON. Where, to our joy, Abigail was born in 1975. Moving to Pinawa, MB in 1982 was the best move we ever made, we loved Pinawa and all the friends we made there. In 1999, Georgina gave us the greatest gift of a grandson, Ben, and soon after I was diagnosed with metastasised breast cancer. I have fought the hardest fight of my life in order to have as much time with Ben as possible. I also gave a lot of energy to other people with breast cancer and I loved doing it. It made me feel useful to to help others. I will miss you all but I ask you not to grieve, be happy that I am now at peace and without pain and suffering. To my sisters and mother living in England, thanks for being there when I needed to you, I love you and will miss you. I want to thank all my friends and there are so many, for all the support and visits, they were invaluable. Dr. Brandes you are my hero and thank you for always putting my needs first. The staff at CancerCare are second to none and I thank you all. To my support group, goodbye, you have helped me so much, Jill, you are an incredible person. To Dr. J. Wiebe, the staff at the Pinawa Hospital, and Dr. Nel, thank you for the amazing care. Please no flowers, donations to Breast Cancer Centre of Hope, my lifeline to hope, would be appreciated. Dont grieve for me, For I am gone to a better place, Dont cry for me, I am at peace. Rather REMEMBER me with laughter And dont forget me, When you look at a beautiful place, You will see me. Goodbye Geoff Goodbye Georgina and Shaun Goodbye Abigail Goodbye Ben Goodbye Mum Goodbye Carolyn Goodbye Jacqueline Goodbye my friends Till we meet again. A celebration of Annes Life will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 24 at the Community Centre (high school gym) in Pinawa.
