Everyone who mourns her loss is invited to celebrate her life by sharing a coffee and this prayer with loved ones on a sunny spring morning:
Loving God,
We live in the mystery of the new life you promised in Jesus
and the new life that surrounds us every spring.
Help us welcome, connect and love by example
all those we know and all those we don’t usually see.
Open our eyes and make us one whole and holy people.

In addition the family invites those who knew her well to join them for the funeral mass which will be celebrated at Holy Family Parish (1451 Strachan Road S.E.) on April 12th at 1:00 pm with Father Rodel celebrant.
In lieu of cut flowers, the family encourages you to grow them instead and to think of Anne as they unfold and share their beauty with you and enhance your life just as she did for so many.
