The obituary notice of Anne Leyton FORBES

To Auntie Anne (Oaks)
You are the most beautiful soul that ever walked on this earth, and you will be greatly missed by everyone. I honestly don’t know how we are supposed to go on without you being here but I know we will have to figure it out somehow. If I turn out to be half the woman you are, I will depart this world a very happy woman… I will try to be kind, protective of the people we both love, and continue to make people laugh just how you would have wanted…. Because I did learn from the best….
Sending so much love to our family on the other side… especially Nanna and Harrison.
Don’t worry about your beautiful boys, I promise to be here for them, life will never be the same but all I can do is my best to help them through this difficult time.
Loving you always Heidi-kin’s xxxxxx

Dearest Auntie,
This does not seem real, I don’t think I will ever get used to you not being around.Its like a bad dream I cannot awaken from. All of our hearts are completely broken, but that’s the price we all have to pay for loving you unconditionally. As I speak on behalf of the family, you are going to be very sadly missed and never forgotten.You are a legend and I just know we will be talking about you for many years to come. We will never forget your beautiful smile that could light up a room, your distinctive laugh(I will miss this so much), as well as your wicked sense of humour, but how could we ever forget your directness oh my goodness (I forgot how many times you gave me a telling off for not having my coat done up! I will be sure to do my coat up every time I leave the house now Auntie) Thank you so much for coming to my aid when I had Covid. Thank you so much for my 40th birthday card, it really did touch my heart the beautiful words you wrote in it (Thank you). Thank you for being there when Harrison passed away, I always knew I could count on you, but I do take comfort that you will look after him for me until it’s my time to depart this realm. Thank you so much for being an amazing Auntie, I haven’t been blessed with certain circumstances in my life, but I did hit the jackpot having you as my beautiful Auntie…. It’s only goodbye for now Auntie Anne (Oaks) until we met again…..Always in my loving thoughts Heidi-kin’s xxxxxx

Thank you so much for being an amazing Auntie, I will always remember our time at the youth club, you have always been a special part of my childhood and I will remember you forever….

You were like a mum to me and Elton, and Nana too our kids. You had the kindest heart and did more for us than anyone we’ve ever known. You gave us so much love and kindness, and the best Nana hugs. Will miss you infinity 💔 we love you Annie flowog xxxxx

Anne was always someone you could belly laugh with! I remember her being cheeky, always sitting in the back of church on the ‘naughty table’ and having a good laugh always!
I loved our Christmas days when we did lunches for the homeless- it was wonderful chaos and Anne took it all in her stride! Anne included everyone and was so kind going out of her way to help people. Anne loved deeply and I am so grateful to have known her. I was so sad not to be able to make the funeral but she has been in my thoughts today and the family in my prayers. Xxx
