Our thoughts are with Mark, Kerryn, Nicholas and families. We were so sorry to hear of Ann's passing. I first met Ann when she was my Associate teacher 47 years ago, Jack taught with her and Trevor at Papatoetoe Intermediate. We have kept in touch over the years and feel very sad to hear this news. We will be unable to attend the service as we are currently overseas .

" May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields."
Ann was a valued friend who lived life to the full. Her adventurous spirit, her love of the outdoors, of wide horizons, beaches and mountains, will always be an inspiration. Happy memories will
remain. My sincere condolences to Ann's family, her children and grandchildren she loved so much.
