Dear Jackie, David, Billy, Bobby, Susan, Terry, and families,

I was very sorry to hear of Anna B's passing, and also sorry that I could not attend the services to honour her memory and to be there for you all.

I was very honoured to be an honorary Barbati son (acknowledging that would be a mixed blessing), at least that's how I felt by the way your mum and dad treated me. Your home as always warm and welcoming, and that seemed to be mainly Anna B's doing. Even after Jackie moved away, I loved to visit your house on Clarendon St to catch up with Bobby and have a chat with Anna B and big John, with Juliette listening in attentively from Anna B's lap. And all those Christmas Eve's, one of the few nights we were consciously deferential to our elders; it was always a highlight paying respects to your family those nights (as well as loading up on beautiful Italian food).

I have only great memories of Anna B's long, loving and selfless life. Even I (and many other friends) at a step-removed was a beneficiary of her generous spirit. It's humbling what people like Anna B manage to give over the course of their lives, though she probably would have seen it just what you did as a mum in those days.

Going forward, Anna B will be one of the people that come to mind for me when I want to be more generous, more selfless, when I's aspiring to be one of the people who quietly make the world go round.

My deepest condolences and with much love,
Bonebrain
