  2. Ann, my compassionate, super clever and fun loving cousin, we enjoyed many moments growing up together, especially attending school together and trying to convince our classmates that we were cousins. Our special encounter when we sat and chatted together last year will stay with me. God bless, love Rose

  5. Dear Aunty Ann,

    You’ll always be the ‘cool aunt’. My fondest memory to this day is sitting in my loungeroom as a little girl,and you writing up my arm in texta so I could be cool like ‘Kylie Mole’ from the Comedy Company. You encouraged that cheekiness, fun and laughter. You’ll be dearly missed.

  12. My cheeky Aunt. I love our little giggles together. Just a look, an eye roll or a smirk from across the room and I understood and couldn’t help but smile and give one back. Your compassion and support and understanding when it was needed most meant so much.
    You’re in my heart and the thought of you makes me smile. I love you dear. Keep smiling beautiful lady!

  14. My darling sister, Ann, taken too soon. It was an honour to be your younger brother. I always admired your pure good heart, your honesty, genuineness, integrity, and loving nature. Fondest lifetime memories including travelling through Italy and Austria together, your directed gaze at me from your beaming face walking up your wedding aisle, wickedly funny moments together, and your kind communications right up to the end. I shall miss you dearly and take solace in the fact that you are now free from suffering and free to fly high with the full clarity of all truth. Eternal love from Anthony, and John (dec) xx
