Just found out about Anne's passing She was a good friend and neighbour to my Mam Ada Clasper. Wesley and Anne were a gentle, considerate and kind couple who played a big part in my childhood in Mount Close.

To my Auntie Anne, the most loving caring person you ever wish to meet, she made my childhood special, whenever we visited she always gave me big hug and made me feel special. My childhood would not have been the same without her (or my Uncle Wesley)
I will always love her and miss her. Nephew Neil. X
