Anne was a wonderful friend, an animal lover and protector, always immaculately dressed, always organised; our lives are richer for having been a part of Anne and John's life for a time. Thank you Anne for being the amazing lady that you were. You will leave a gaping hole. We hope some of the many happy memories of Anne will help with that in time.
Lots of happy memories working with Anne in Stratford Telephone Exchange. One Friday night we had a competition to see who could eat a 1 litre family pack of ice cream and Anne won. Anne, you were a support to me when we climbed Mt Egmont together. Heaps of fun at dances and the many times you visited us in Waimāna BOP. Rest in Peace Anne. Love Elaine and family. Remembering the good times we shared, lots of holidays, you were a great cook and like another big sister to me. To Paul, Carmel, Nicola and Aaron, you are always in my thoughts.
