Goodbye Anne - I know you will having a rum and sofa with Don now as it’s sunset. Enjoy the company and a big Hello to Don.
Anne and Don where mainstays for holidays and get together at the farm, on the Trent or in Toronto. I miss them both and can say the same for my mom who clearly loved her sister and the experiences of growing up together. Both shared a strong sense of opinion and we will all miss them for that as they were almost always right but never gloated on this.
My favourite memory’s of Anne are numerous Christmas mornings with countless presents and enjoying the day with their kids John, Laura and Tony. Largest smile and grin from Anne - likely reviving the original part of their farmhouse - Anne and Don loved to jump into a project.
Biggest regret? That Anne cannot see how happy and content her children are at this stage of life which is testament to the direction, encouragement and devotion to family. Good bye Anne - we will continue to miss you.

Dear John, Tony, Laura & families,
I have so many great memories of spending time with your mom & dad growing up. Anne was always so good to me and our parents shared so many great times together. There was always lots of laughter in the house when the McKees came over and the famous Christmas Eve parties will forever remain a cherished memory in my heart.
Thinking of you all at this difficult time & sending lots of love xoxo
