her family and her daughter Lisa came home from Ontario to look after
her mother during her illness.

Aunt Anna’s obituary is beautiful and captures everything. My condolences to everyone and sending you all a big hug. I can still hear her laughter when folks would come to Garson for a visit, sitting in the living room, having a drink and the stories would come out. Fond memories and love you all.
