As much as we knew this day was drawing nigh darling Anne, I was not looking forward to never again seeing your beautiful smiling face and enjoying our many chats in real time and on Facebook….. so many beautiful memories I have you to treasure my friend.
My deepest sympathy, love and prayers are extended to Kevan, Aaron, Steffan and extended families of both the Crabbe and Paton families on the passing of dear Anne.
You were not only known as a much loved and amazing person serving your community Anne, but were also known by all, as a brilliantly talented and creative woman, a wonderful role model in all areas of your life and a truly loyal and upright friend to all whom had the honour and privilege of knowing you, coupled with so much wisdom and fun times to share with us all.
I thank you for your beautiful friendship over the past nearly 30 years.
Anne you suffered so much, your patience endured beyond my comprehension and your incredible resilience held you so strong in the most difficult and challenging moments.
Your strong faith in God and the great assurance of your love for Him is what always held you strong and you always loved and appreciated all offers of prayers to help you prepare for your eternal journey with a great assurance of inner peace. You knew that God always had you in His keeping Anne.
When God saw how weary and ready you were to be handpicked as another gorgeous rose for His Eternal Heavenly Garden, He chose to gently close your eyes and take you Home.No more pain and suffering,.
RIP beautiful Anne, til we meet again.Much love Carol XOXO ♥️🥀♥️🥀♥️🥀♥️🥀 XOXO

Sending heartfelt condolences to Anne’s immediate and extended family members. Anne was a very special person and I fondly recall our last conversation when we spoke in length of our primary school days at Pirron Yallock. We especially recalled the much anticipated end of year concerts, doing folk dances and proudly wearing the crepe paper skirts that Anne’s mother Rhoda had made for us.

Condolences to all te family. Anne was such a kind and friendly lady who helped everyone she could. Her creativeness knew no bounds and I loved all the numerous items she created for me. These will have extra special meaning now and I will remember her with fondness and gratitude every time I use them. Anne will be sadly missed by many, many people. She was taken eay too soon but fond memories of her will last forever. I shall so miss seeing her beautiful smile.
