Anne became a supervising figure in my life at the Outdoor Pursuits flats at Mackenzie College. I was an angry and volatile young man yet her patient but firm guidance became a pivotal point in my life. Staying up late nights when I had snuck out and ensuring I was appropriately punished was the kind of loving guidance that I needed.
Later in life she became a dear friend and it was a joy to have meals with her and watch this loving woman, who had been so patient with me, read books to my children.
Anne, thankyou for being such a loving influence in my life and the lives of many others. You are dearly missed.
