Maureen These messages were delivered as part of funeral service Anne made an impression on me from the first time we met in 1969.

A lovely funeral service today. Really paid tribute to what an exceptional lady you were. God bless

Rosey Milner I’m sitting here in Italy and the only reason I’m here is down to Anne – she and Steve inspired us to do the drive, Anne giving me language tips like telling me to say’ sono scozzesie’ so we could get a discount!!! I have adored Anne since the age of 8 when I first saw this beautiful woman with long hair, a bun and eye liner. My onl...more

🕯 Kieran Mooney lit a candle Dear Anne, As a young lad growing up in St Helens, you were always the somewhat exoctic and brainy, distant cousin from North of the Border where they all spoke funny.

🕯 Jan Vecchio lit a candle Dear Anne, you were one amazing lady. I am inspired by your resilience. I regret not having given you a hug at our Toastmaster meeting on 7th August - we simply said good night but had no idea of what was to happen. Yesterday, I went to the Mater Hospital to visit a friend and who should be at the reception but Sha...more

So Anne, ten weeks since you left. It's not getting any easier. It's lonely. I miss you in the sunshine. I miss you on the ferry (Alexander especially). I miss you in the Mall. I miss you at the beach. I miss your omelette. I miss you and Grace. I miss the sharp gossip. I miss your mentoring. I miss your pens, your watches, your Sudoku, your ...more
