Anne Wiens

Anne was a much-loved colleague at Beaconsfield Elementary School. Her quiet, consistent Christian testimony was an example to many fellow teachers. Her patience and kindness to the students in her care will be remembered by many of them. I was saddened to see the notice of her passing, but I am confident that she is delighted to be at "home with the Lord"! Anne will surely be missed!

Dear Christine, Don, Mary, and Ed, I am sad to hear of Anne's passing. Anne, like her father, Uncle Allan, was one of the gentlest people I have met. My mother, Bessie Macaulay Stuart, felt a special bond with Anne and with your family because of the care Auntie Margaret and Uncle Allan took of her when she was growing up, and because Anne was a baby at the same time as my brother Derek. Many times over the past several years, Anne has come up in conversation with my brother Colin. Perhaps you don't know this, but Anne sometimes encountered Colin on the street downtown, selling flowers, or on the steps of the downtown library, during his homeless period. Colin has mentioned many times how Anne always stopped, talked with him in a caring way, and wished him well despite his difficulties. She treated him with respect, approached him, and encouraged him, when many others simply pretended not to know him, and passed by. Such generosity and goodness of heart runs in your family, I think, as during my mother's last few years, Christine extended a helping hand on many occasions, and kept in touch with my mother until her death, and as you may recall, and Don led the service at my own mother's funeral. I so appreciate your caring for members of our family. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to make the journey to the funeral because of a current bout of mobility difficulties, but I want you to know how much your enduring connection and caring has been for our family. And Anne -- Anne had Auntie Annie's big eyes, so like my own mother Bessie's. Gratitude and best wishes. Pene Stuart Bourk

Hello, I am Lala. I heard the news that Anne passed away from Ji-Hee, and I feel very sorry for Anne and her family. I don't know how to express my condolences.. I was a international student from korea five years ago. I met Anne in Church. She was so kind and warm to me and other international students. I still remember her welcoming smile whenever I went her home. I could learn more about Jesus thanks to her. I hope that she is now happy with her God, and I will pray for her.

Sorry to hear that sad news. Anne, I will miss you deeply and always remember you. You showed me God's love when I lived in your house. Ed, I will keep pray for you.

Dear Ed, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I would like to offer my sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Anne was very kind to me when I stayed in Vancouver. She invited me over for dinner many times and welcomed me warmly. She made my stay there great and very special. May her soul rest in peace. Sincerely, Kanako
