For Geoff and your family, Our greetings and most sincere condolences from all our family. Anne was our quiet and softly spoken second cousin who we will always fondly remember.
We shared Christmas Days as younger people with she and her family; most memorable and peaceful times.
Our warmest good wishes to the Bicknell and (extended) Watson Families.

Dear Geoff and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Anne's sudden passing.
I met Anne when I returned to nursing and worked with her at Ainsle Medical Centre.
It was a wonderful place to work and much of that was due to Anne and the other staff.
She was a very fair and caring boss and a pleasure to know and to learn from.

Anne travelled with me to Barcelona and Girona in Spain as a member of the World Doctors Orchestra. She was a talented violist. As a fellow violist from the NSW Doctors orchestra, I was delighted .. as she made the trip so enjoyable.. she was a way more accomplished player and we became firm friends thereafter. The members of the World Doctors Orchestra are devastated by this loss. My sincerest condolences to Geoff.

To the family of Anne,
we would like to offer our sincere sympathy at this difficult time.
We were Dr Bicknell's patients when she first started practice in Dr Donnans' surgery in Ainslie.
She was a wonderful and caring Dr for all our family and we stayed with her until moving from Canberra.
Our thoughts are with you all,
