Grateful, caring, positive, fun &
exciting describe the attitude
&
character of this loving lady.
A person with strong ethics
who grew up around Belgian horses on
the family farm in the countryside
of Bracebridge, Muskoka
Ontario.
Performing daily chores with her family,
Gerald & Rosie Cook,
Brian, Mark & Alec.
Anne loved the lifestyle with nature & animals.
Anne’s passion led her to become an Equine
Veterinary Technician specializing
with
Thoroughbred Race Horses. It is this passion
that brought her to Kentucky
for a conference
and to visit the Bluegrass farms. Anne was
also a scuba diver,
aerobics instructor,
jazz dancer & loving wife.
She was very supportive of
my passion for
art and photography, and we spent years
together in the Caribbean
Islands working,
diving, riding motor cycles & water skiing.
In 1994 we
moved to Vancouver, and in
September 2000 after spending more than
a decade together celebrated our love with
marriage back in Anne’s home town of
Muskoka.
In the spirit of Anne’s character I have
established a registered charity for sick children,
The Anne Marie Bailey Fund.
Anne and I did not have children and
for those
of us healthy enough to enjoy life there comes
a time to give back to those less fortunate who
may not have the opportunity to see, live or
do the things we have.
A large part of Anne is now instilled in me & I intend to pursue
my life
in a way that would make her proud. Those wishing
to contribute to the charity
can mail to:
The Anne Marie Bailey Fund, 509 - 4885 Kingsway, Burnaby, B.C., Canada, V5H 4T2
