Mélanie Jane ANCLIFF

I have lost a friend and confidante taken all too quickly. Since we first shared a room in Terrace when starting at BCPE in 1974 we have had many happy times and family holidays - sharing the company of your parents Wally and Joan will stay with me forever.
I can't believe you have gone.

Melanie was a dear friend over many decades; her loyal support and wise advice interwoven throughout the ups and downs of life. Her generosity and hospitality extended to my family and close friends. I will miss her zest for life and the lengthy phone calls where we put the world to rights!
It is a great sadness that Mel couldn’t enjoy more years at her beloved Canebiere.
She was a positive and courageous person and will be remembered always.

You were truly a radiant light in the lives of all who knew you. You gave us great hope and wonderful memories and will be sorely missed at Canebières, but never forgotten.

Je garderai le souvenir de Mélanie toujours souriante, rendant service dès qu'elle le pouvait...aimant la vie.
Très combattante face à la maladie et pleine d'espoir.
Merci à Mélanie pour sa bonne humeur.

Le départ de Mélanie va créer un grand vide aux Canebières.

Chère Mélanie,
Il devait manquer un ange aux côtés du bon Dieu pour qu'il te fasse venir si tôt. Je garderais en moi la formidable personne que tu étais, ta gentillesse, ta disponibilité et ton dévouement permanent.
Ton sourire, ton dynamisme, tes engagements auprès de l'association BROS du domaine, vont terriblement nous manquer. Chère amie toutes mes prières vont vers toi pour un repos en paix.

I have so many wonderful memories of holidays with Mel at Canabiere and remember good times with her parents there as well. We always seemed to have problems though keeping the noise down when playing dice outside! Admiration too for the dedication she gave to her teaching career and her work with WAC. A brave soldier up until the end, who will be missed by so many. Lyn x

Melanie was a dear friend with whom we spent many happy times in the UK and in France. She was attentive, generous and altruistic. She was also very courageous and always communicated her joie de vivre and positive attitude to life, even when her situation became very tough. She will be very much missed and will continue to live through us all. Cecile and Jan
