I knew Anne through the Pacific Bluegrass and Heritage Society in Vancouver. She was an avid fan of bluegrass music, and attended our events for many years with her friend Irene Williamson. These two ladies were inspirational to the many friends they made there, by showing how it’s possible to get out and enjoy life well into the senior years. We will miss her and her enthusiasm for our music.
I know how hard it is to lose a mother and grandmother, and my heart goes out to Anne’s family. I know also that you have a lifetime of wonderful memories that will always be with you. I hope you find comfort in those memories in the days to come.
Sincerely,
Sue Malcolm
