In remembering Anita I have borrowed the words from "A Course in Miracles" which bring her to mind:

"The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator, nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within."

Knew Anita when working at LCGH. Stands out in my memory that she had such positive energy, visible through her kindness and smiles so freely shared with others. So sorry to hear of your loss.

I was incredibly sad and sorry to learn that Anita had passed away. She was a wonderful lady. I worked with her many times when she came shopping at my store. I didn't know her so well outside of seeing her come in smiling and shopping, but I wanted to pass along my condolences. She always made my day when she came in. I always thought of her as one of my favourite customers, which probably sounds weird. But as i said, I really liked her a lot. Your family will be in my thoughts.

Easter offers hope to those who grieve. In the short time I worked with Anita as a fellow volunteer, I was blessed by her kindness and support as we served the residents of United Helpers. Her gentle spirit was a source of peace for all us.

My condolences to Anita's family. I worked with Anita on occasion at Claxton Hepburn Mental Health Unit. She was a very kind and gracious lady, always appeared to be happy and enjoying her work. I also noted that she was a "sister" in OES, which I did not know until now. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. Gail Kerr

We are so saddened by Anita's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of holiday meals together. Her laughter and bright personality (and also the 25 different kinds of cookies and 5 kinds of fudge) made those family gatherings very special. Our love and prayers are with Ed, Eric & Kim, and Missy & Kevin.
