Very sad to have just learned of your beloved mother's passing. My deep condolences to all the family. As one of so many people honoured and privileged to have been touched by her sharp mind and her kind and generous spirit I will greatly miss her.

So very sad to hear, belatedly, of Anne's passing. I knew her through the Royal Saint George Society and always looked forward to our chats at the annual dinner. A lovely woman whose wit and wisdom I shall miss greatly. Rest in peace, dear lady...

I just discovered Anne's obituary. I was the graphic designers who worked with her on the materials for the Round Church restoration, plus many other projects for St. George's. She was a wonderful person who I am proud to say I was fortunate enough to have known. I often ran into her with Sally at Point Pleasant Park while walking my dogs. My heart goes out to the family, and her extended family

Michael and family,  I was truly impressed with your remarkable mother, long before I read this impressive account of her accomplishments. 

We shared brief times together but they have left a lasting impression. I was blessed to have made her acquaintance.

Sincerely,  Carolyn, Sally's friend & occasional care-giver.

Peter, we were so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I worked with Anne at SMU. She taught me much about publications from the ground up and I use those skills to this day. She will be greatly missed by the many she has touched in her personal and professional lives.

Of course Anne orchestrated our welcome to Woodbridge in 1973! Chris was the boss at the office but Anne not only did the books but introduced us to the community in inimitable flare. We grew to be friends and remember her fondly. Our condolences to the boys and the rest of the family. Victor and Shirley Santos-Pedro.

Anne's influence on my personal development began when we first came to Woodbridge.  It remains strong today. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, as I'm sure many others are, We have been touched by her intellect, humour and passion. Condolences to both her Canadian and English family. Shirley.

Dear Jen & Mike,
I was sorry to hear of Anne's passing so soon after I had seen her at Martin's party. I was even more sorry, of course, that she had to be burdened with this terrible disease after suffering through it first with her husband. Life certainly doesn't seem fair. 
I read her obit. with interest. I have known her, but not well, for many years, but had no idea she had had such a varied and interesting life in so many places. She was a great lady and I always enjoyed seeing her at the various family events at which we were both present. I shall miss her. 
With this I just wanted to give you my condolences on what must be a great loss for you. 
With sincere sympathy and best wishes, Rannveig

Rest eternal grant unto her, O lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her. Amen. Jane and Rosemary Mason-Browne, Halifax

We were very sorry to hear about Anne's passing.  She was a great contributor to our City.  We lived beside Anne for a few years, and enjoyed taking Sally for walks, having tea with Anne, listening to her tell stories about her grandchildren, and admiring her beans growing wild on her porch.  We are sorry we cannot attend the funeral service, and our sincerest condolences to Anne's family and friends.

I got to know Anne when we cared for our mutual friend, Jim Lotz, when he was ill this time last year. I know too that Anne was a great friend of Jim's late wife Pat, and was very attentive to her needs before she passed. Anne was inspiring as we shared various duties together to ensure Jim's well-being and at this time of the year, I'll now always remember her spirit of care and attention. My condolences to her family and many friends.

I was saddened to hear of Anne's passing. We met years ago at an alumni services conference in Montreal. I enjoyed her company then and admired her articles over the years. Although we hadn't run into each other in a long time, I was always glad to hear news of her through my friend Cathy Stewart. It would seem a fitting tribute to Anne to quote the last line of Charlotte's Web....".It is not often you find someone who is a true friend and a good writer"
Linda Cann, Wolfville

My condolences to the family. I have very good memories about working with your father Chris West.
All the best to you all.

So sorry to hear of Anne's passing. She was an amazing women. 

When I was 22, she hired me as a temp at first to help with the fundraising campaign for Saint George's Restoration. She kept me on for two years giving me valuable work experience. My time working with her and Linda Crockett sent me in a new direction and I decided to return to school. Her influence changed my path for the better and I will always be thankful to her for that. 

You have my sincerest condolences. 
Maria O'Hearn

Anne West, what a fine, articulate, funny and perceptive person.  We are diminished by her loss.  It was my good fortune to have known this exceptional lady, we shared many a good story and she always left me with something to think about.  With utmost respect and admiration...
