    Our dearest Anna, singing with the angels right now. 🕊️👏
    You will all be in our thoughts and prayers on Saturday and in the time ahead. Anna was such a brave little warrior. Her battle is won now and she is in the loving arms of our Lord. She has touched so many lives with this journey she has been through. So many memories for us to cherish. So much love coming your way . Gaynor🌹🙏👏♥️

    Anna, my sister, my friend. You have been a part of our family since i can remember. So many memories on the farm and your first year of school spent with us. Then our years together in Harare living as young ladies together at 3 Dundee in Harare – young girls from the ‘ bush’ finding our feet in the city! Peter came into our lives, Peter who loved you so dearly from the beginning and never left your side. Life went on and every visit home we gathered, Lynnie, Potty you and I. We will all miss you so. God speed until we meet again.
    Our hearts are broken.

      Auntie Anna welcomed me into the family with open arms from the beginning. She was so friendly and loving. I have many memories of visiting her in her warm, joyful and busy home and feeling so loved. I will always be grateful to have met her and I send my love, thoughts and prayers to everyone. All my love, Mia.

    Dearest Anna, how I will miss you, miss our calls and messages. You were the strongest lady that I ever knew and you fought the most incredible fight. Because of you, I have so much courage and fight in me and I thank you for that.
    James will miss your face time calls and showing him how HIS chickens were growing, he loved to see you with the dogs and animals. I will truly miss our talks and laughs. God took the most beautiful flower out of the garden when he took you. I love you and you will forever be in our hearts.

    The celebration of your mum’s life was truly beautiful. Donna you spoke so eloquently, with such heartfelt and pure words—it was clear how deeply you loved and admired her. Though I only had the chance to meet her a couple of times, hearing your family share their memories gave me a true sense of who she was. She sounds like an incredible woman, and it’s clear that her strength and spirit live on in you.

    I know how much we missed you when you left UK when you moved back to Zimbabwe, but I’m so glad you had those precious years with her and that your beautiful children were able to share in that time as well. Our hearts are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

    Sending you so much love and strength.

    Dear Peter, Donna, Kristy, Chad and families
    We are so sad we could not be with you today for the wonderful service you had for Anna, but we were able to join via the net from Perth. Thank you for organising this to be possible. Our hearts are broken but we have so many wonderful memories of Anna and we managed to catch up with her and you Peter each trip back home. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Anna is with our Lord and at peace – until we meet again.
    Love PJ, Lyn and Auntie Kath
