Dear Walter, Art and Leonard.
We would like to extend our condolences to you and to your families for the loss of your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother (Oma) and great-grandmother.
I have many fond memories of my Tante Annie from my years growing up in Vineland. Picnics, church activities, holiday dinners, playing in the big back yard of their house on Victoria Avenue. Going on a trip to Ottawa/Gatineau with 7 of us in the car ( this was before seat belts were obligatory ).
It was thanks to Tante Annie and Onkel Jake that our family was able to come to Canada and start a new life here. Thanks to them, my father was able to be reunited with his mother and sister after many years apart and not knowing for a long time if they were even still alive.
When we arrived, Anne and Jake opened up their hearts and their home to us. We shared many happy times together.
Anne was a beautiful, quiet, loving, generous person and will be sorely missed.
Helene (Leni Schmidt) and Christopher Reddick and our children Kathleen (Takashi), Michael, Joanne and Barbara
