Growing up, Anne was always there, a part of my life, a part of my family. Lucy, was born just 2 days before me, and never lets me forget it, she was always like a sister to me and so in turn, Anne was like a second mum. I spent a lot of time in the Exton home and Anne was always so warm and loving, such a kind and giving spirit. Words and stories can’t convey how I feel, how sad it is to have lost Anne from this world, but I do know that she was always so proud of her family. Family truly meant the world to her and in turn, she meant the world to them. You will be greatly missed Anne xxx

My dearest Anne…..ducky. Where do I begin, you were such an important part of my life for more years than I care to remember. You listened to me, you laughed with me, you cried with me and you loved me. You told me off when I deserved it, gave me advise when I needed it and was always there unconditionally for me. There are so many wonderful memories of our times together, nights in, nights out, holidays together, the list is endless. Singing very inappropriate Chubby Brown songs, endless hours playing bingo, “ducks” on The PlayStation in Blackpool, watching the circus at Great Yarmouth, laughing so hard on a Blackpool tram we nearly had an accident…..so, so many wonderful memories that I will treasure forever. You welcomed me into your family and treated me like one of your own and I love you so much for that. The world is a much sadder place without you in it and a light has gone out. Fly high Grannie Anne and RIP with your beloved Alan. I will miss and love you forever, Mel xxxxx

I didn’t know you but I do know you produced a strong lady who makes a difference in many young lives everyday she will continue your resilience passing it on to her own daughter in your memory 💜💜💜
