I am thinking of you, Fanny, on what would have been your 90th birthday today! I wish that you could have met Julian - he would have really enjoyed having conversations with you. I remember how you used to address me when I would see you or talk to you on the phone: "Hello, Tricie dear!" I wish that I could hear that again...I cherish all of the lovely memories, though.  
Love,
Tricie, Ron and Julian

Miss you Fanny, and mum. 10 years this year since we lost you both. Sometimes I can't believe it. But the more time that passes, and the older I get, the more I realise what wonderful people you, Al and mum all were. My love always, your niece Ginny.

You were on my mind, Fanny, when I was out walking amongst the fallen leaves today. It has been such a bright, and beautiful autumn day. I know that you would have appreciated this lovely weather. It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years. Time goes on, but you are still very much in our thoughts.

As the years pass the memories do not fade. We miss you mom as we do dad. I wish you were here to see your granddaughter as she becomes older.

Love Mike and Keira.

Fanny, I was thinking of you when I got to see Keira for her 6th birthday party this past Saturday. She bears a resemblance to you...I know that you would be so proud of your granddaughter!  I have just included a picture here of Keira with Julian (from her birthday party). It was lovely to spend time with your family.
Love,
Tricie, Ron and Julian

Happy Birthday mom. Thinking of you and dad.

As always Mom, you are with us in the Holiday season. It seems some of the family gathering with friends and your famed trifle were only recent.

Another year has passed, Fanny, and I have been reflecting on the times that we spent with you and your family. As we get closer to the Christmas season, I am remembering how you decorated your house for the Christmas holiday. I always enjoyed visiting your house that time of year to see what you put up on display. I'm so glad that Al shared some of your items with us after you passed away; every year we put up a Santa decoration with lit-up miniature houses and Christmas scenes that we received from Al. It is such a lovely reminder of you.
Love, Tricie, Ron and Julian

Dear Fanny
Thinking a lot about you and mum and enjoying the gallery of photos of you both by my desk: swimming in the lake at the cottage we visited, another trip to Niagara on the Lake, in Brighton at mum & dad's and in Borth when you, Al & Mike, my mum & dad, and Rose & Gerry all visited us by minibus! You would have been 87 today and I wish very much that you, mum, dad and Al were all still here with us.
Your niece, Ginny

Hi Fanny,
Once again, the weather has been beautiful around the time of your birthday. We're thinking of you during this time, and appreciating all the wonderful times that we spent together.

I think of you most days Fanny. You and mum are in photos on my desk, by the bed, on the shelves, on the walls... You have a beautiful grand-daughter now who (like you) will be her own strong lovely character! Miss you and mum all the time, all my love, Ginny xxx

On this anniversary mom I would like to say how much it would have meant for you to have met your granddaughter. In her I see you and Kitty. She would have loved you like you would have her; and though her is a happy reminder of all that you both meant to us.

Fondmemories of you Fanny surrounded by your books and your cats.Sweet dreams. Ken

Mom we miss you every year. I wish you can have been here to enjoy time with your granddaughter, who reminds us of you in so many ways. We will carry that in our memories... love Mike

Cherished friend for over 40 years, you will never be forgotten.
Rose, Gerry and family.

Fanny You are in my thoughts today.Sweet Dreams

Still thinking about you often Fanny. One image of you and mum in Toronto where she was at her happiest being with you - both giggling so much about something - mum was crying with laughter, you with an innocent smile as if to say "It wasn't Me" xxx

Al keeps your memory alive with pictures, candles ,stories and graveside visits.Sweet dreams Fanny -Ken and Sandra

Lots of happy memories have come to mind this year, of you in Toronto and crossing the Thousand Island Bridge. Meeting Keira was wonderful, she's a lovely granddaughter Fanny xxxxx

Fanny, it is hard to believe that it has been four years...thinking of you and of many fond memories.

Thinking of you, Fanny, on your birthday. Remembering so many of the good times we shared.

Fanny -how will Al handle being a grandfather?He can barely handle the cats!Sadly this darling baby girl will miss not having you for a grandmother. Sweet dreams.Ken and Sandra

Dearest Fanny,
Three years have gone by but the lovely memories we have of our holidays and family gatherings will always be cherished.
Love, Rose & Gerry

I wish you were still with us, Fanny. Now that we have a son, it would have been nice for you to have met him. Thinking of you. Love, Tricie and Ron

I miss you and mum Fanny. All the time that passes makes me realise how even more special you both were than I knew at the time xxx

Fanny I'm sure the cats miss you! Al does his best but he lacks that special touch you had. He does speak harshly to them at times.Sweet dreams. Ken

WHEN LIZ AND I VISITED AL AND FANNY IT WAS ALWAYS A TREAT TO SEE HER SURROUNDED WITH BOOKS-I MEAN PILES!ALSO AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR SHE WOULD BE GETTING HER EXTENSIVE CHRISTMAS CARD LIST READY.FANNY ADORED THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

Fanny, we wish you were here to celebrate your milestone 80th birthday. Sadly this was not to be. Our consolation is to recall happy memories of the good times we shared with you, Al and Michael.
Forever missed,
Rose & Gerry

Thinking of you on your birthday, Fanny. I remember spending many special occasions together over the years.

Always a caring hostess when you arrived and when you left.I miss that wave from the upper window.Happy birthday Fanny.Ken

Miss you Fanny and mum all the time and realise more every day how special you both were to me and each other xxx

Mom, you will always be in our thoughts. After a year it seems like no time has passed. You were so very special.

Love

Mike & Al

Fanny was a great travel facilitator for me.Over the years I had the great pleasure of enjoying the fine hospitality of her sisters in both England and Jordan!She enriched my life at home and abroad.Sweet dreams Fanny.

Fanny was such a generous soul-My mother lived alone in Goderich after my father died.Fanny called her every Sunday night for years! What a friend to have.Sweet Dreams Fanny

Fanny was a loyal & caring Godmother to me for more than 50 yrs even though I live in the UK. She was the midwife who delivered me in a little village in Hertfordshire all those years ago, & she & my mother were friends for life from then on. F never forgot my birthday or stopped caring about me, even after my mother, Hetty, died in 1989. She was dear, kind, big souled.I am truly grateful.

A kind and gentle soul, our dearest friend for more than 40 years.
Fanny we will miss you.

Rose & Gerry

Dear Al and Mike,
Barry and I feel very fortunate to have met Fanny. There could not be a more genuine, warm person. Without her, the world is a sadder place and our thoughts and prayers are with both of you. We hope you find comfort in all your many memories.
Janet and Barry.

Fan - to me, and to others, you were always warm and kind and gentle.  As I was growing up it was inspiring to think that you cared for the world as an elegant feminist with a social conscience :). So thanks Fanny for being you. You are missed. xxxxxxxx love Suze

Fanny Thank you for sharing your life with me for over 40 years.Your warm and generous friendship enriched my life.

I join Fanny's family and friends in mourning a very special and dear person.   Ann Tait
