Condolence from Sandra & Larry Hern on January 6th, 2020 9:34 AM

Dear Bill, Tony and Heather, Owen and Matthew, Kate and Chris, Kayleigh and Connor,

Words will never express the sorrow we feel for you all in the sudden and unexpected loss of Anne. Over the last 20 years we saw what a devoted Wife, Mom and loving Grandma that Anne was. Her love for you and the pride she had for all her grandchildren was so very evident. We loved her too, and got to share such special and fun times in celebrating birthdays, graduations, and holidays at the cottage. Her love for all of you was unending and the pain that you have in your hearts hurts so very much. Our prayer for you is that all the good memories of happy times with her will eventually give you comfort. We love you all and are here for you. xxoo
