Dear

Wednesday, March 19, 2008.

Did you know Anne Redford? I had to look up her picture in the Anchor. It was the picture of a good-natured elf.
I went to the memorial service, expecting to be one of a few.
The place was packed with friends and neighbors, many who gave moving
eulogies. She was very much a giver, care-taker, friend of all she
touched.
She was described as a self-effacing introvert who lived to help people.
She was known as the Matriarch and Mayor of Palen Avenue, a beautiful,
tree lined street of Hilton Village.
Her husband died of cancer in 1981. She was almost completely house-bound
from 2000-05 taking care of her mother and sister, both who battled
cancer.
She had been striving to expand her personal boundaries for a couple of
years. Getting more involved in activities outside the house. Anne often
took friends to her favorite lunch haunts,
Monty's Penguin and the Port Arthur.
For years, Anne was involved with "Relay for Life", the fundraiser for
cancer research. She was a long-time friend of Veronica Weymouth,
who discovered she had breast cancer a couple weeks after agreeing to
chair this years "Relay for Life". Anne really stepped up to provide
support for Veronica as she went through all the rigors of treatment for
breast cancer.
As usual, an interesting journey that those outside of a small circle of
friends and neighbors were completely unaware.
Take Care of yourself and do good...

Thank you so much, Joe.

Morning Has Broken
Words: Eleanor Farjeon
Music: Traditional Gaelic
1. Morning has broken like the
first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!
2. Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
3. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation; praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day!
