I am so blessed to have had Ann in my life. She always made me laugh and smile. Some of the best days of my life were spent with her -- laughing, giggling, going out to Stoney Monday's, Cegep pubs, travelling, and hanging out in her bedroom just talking. She was down-to-earth, honest, giving, and one of the best story-tellers I ever met. Ann made us want to be as good as her. She brought out the best in everyone. Her greatest joy was marrying Frank and having Sarah. God bless her!

My sister and I grew up with the Smallian family for years in Touraine, QC. The last time I saw Ann was at a baby shower about a year ago and she still thought I was "crazy after all these years" and we had a few good laughs. My deepest sympathies to her Mom, brothers, husband and especially to her daugher.

Deepest sympathies to Frankie and Sarah and family. Ann was such a great young lady and liked to have fun. She will be sadly missed by all of those who were lucky enough to have known her and I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I will miss her smile and laughter. She is at peace now and with her Dad.

Erma, Frank, Sarah, Peter, Glen and family,

Our thoughts are with you. In the past few days, I've heard time and time again that Ann was the nicest, and most genuine person that people knew, and I agreed wholeheartedly. Although I haven't spent much time with Ann over the past few years, I will always think of her as a big sister and a wonderful friend and cousin as we were growing up. I remember a Sunday morning at the Inlet church where Ann musn't have been more than 7 or 8 years old, and I made a fuss over her purse - she gave it to me. I have memories of her taking me to the Ottawa EX for the first time, first ride on a city bus with her, etc. I will miss you Ann. May God help your family through this difficult time.

Ann was my friend before she became my cousins wife. I met her when I was about 5 years old. She was my first friend. Our parents were friends. She was a great person, I will miss her. Frank and Sarah will remain in my prayers.

Ann, my best friends sister, always played the role of big sis well. I have fond memories of her energy and good humour from our many weekends at the Smallians home socializing with friends.

My sympathies go out to the entire family for the loss of a great person.
