Messages of Condolence

  1. Gregory Hartnell says:

    Anne was indeed a gentle soul.

    I remember her keen interest in the mosaic tile history of Victoria, in the social conservative policies of the now-defunct Unity Party of B.C., in preserving Saint Anne’s Academy and Beacon Hill Park and in the local history of Victoria’s pioneer families, particularly those buried in Ross Bay Cemetery.

    I would sometimes find her tending her own family plot when I was down at Ross Bay cleaning up our own Hartnell family plot which is close by.

    God bless her soul.

  2. Donna Chapman, Linda Kember (nee Walton) says:

    Dear Mary, Kathrine and Roy,

    As young children we lived up the street (Heywood) from you and spent many hours at your house. You were the only other family who all slept in one room as we did in our house on Heywood Ave. Linda and I remember Anne very well and she was indeed a gentle soul. Please know we are thinking or you and your family at this time.

    Donna Chapman and Linda Kember

Please share your thoughts ...
