Anna was born in Milano in 1952. By the time she turned 6 our family (Leon, Rosa, Anna and I ) had moved to Chile, for 6 months or so, then Israel for about 3 years before arriving in Melbourne.
Anna was, even as a tiny child very pretty and happy. Everyone wanted to play with her, be with her. I was praised for being a good girl (and I was) but I was a pleaser, Anna was herself.
We both went to school in Noble Park. My memory of that was lots of walking, simple fun, little money and few outings. Anna had lots of friends and was happy at school. Of course, the big event of our life in Noble Park was the arrival of baby Michael in 1958. He was adored by Anna.
We left Noble Park when Anna was 14. I left home soon after that move. The Anna I remember of that time was a person full of life, eager to have adventures and engage with her city, her friends and the world, and utterly herself. She was a knockout beauty, so I was not surprised when she married Cliff so young. He certainly fell for a gorgeous person.
Vale brave little sister. I miss you.
Condolences to my cousin Cliff on the passing of Anna. Love to Alex, Raoul and Rosamund and grandchildren.
Hopefully you will have many happy memories.

My Dear Aunt.
I fondly remember a Christmas when I was 14 and Anna had found a bargain that was sure to be a hit with a teenager- an eye mask kit!
I was extremely excited- especially when reading that it was called a “Hangover Kit”. Anna calmly said, it’ll last for a few years.
I also remember as a young adult living with Cliff and Anna, we would going for walks, visiting Galleries and Gardens and have a cheeky cake in a cafe.
I’ll remember your creative free spirit,
thoughtful intelligence, unique perspective and adventurous heart.
With much love, Kate
