Liz and Jamal Youssef We wish to pass along our deepest condolences to the family for this terrible loss. As neighbours to Anji’s grandparents, Betty and Cliff, for 11 years, we often heard about Anji and got to meet her a few times. It is nothing short of devastating when a young, promising life is cut short. May you find some comfort in the support of family and friends, and fond memories.

Jodee Lalonde Anji, you are going to be dearly missed and remembered always. It was an honor to have you in my life and I know where ever you are right now, you are making a difference in the name of what is right and good. Rest in peace my beautiful friend.

mandy penner Since I heard I’ve been thinking about Anji and all of her family and friends and my thoughts go out to all of you.
I remember Anji from high school. She was 3 years older than me so always someone I looked up to. Anji directed the first play I was ever involved in. She was so supportive of all of us in the cast and made it so much fun that I haven’t stopped volunteering down at the local theatre since. So I guess Anji did that for me and I will always remember her and thank her for making such a difference in my life.
She will be missed

Deborah Woewoda Just want to pass on to all of Anji’s family how blessed we were to know her, even a little. In the last year I only met her about four times on store visits, but she radiated such exuberance and postive enthusiasm, for work and for life itself, and shared her love of and commitment to her family with us. We didn’t see her often, yet her amazing influence came through to us at work every single day. It’s next to impossible to wrap my head around this tragic loss, and so I can only imagine what you all must be feeling. I trust that in the days, weeks and years to come, this outpouring of thoughts and feelings from friends, family, and coworkers will be a comfort to you all, and especially to you, Raya & Sona…for in these things will her memory be kept alive.

The Bull-Weizel's Can’t wrap our head around the fact that we gotta say goodbye. I wished that we had crammed more into the short time that we got to be friends. Anji you were a jewel. So easy to be with, so fun to be around and loved by sooooo many. The pain we feel pales in comparison to your Harpaul’s and the kids and yet I still …write this with tears streaming down my face. Know that although no one could ever take your place, your friends will rally around your family forever and keep your memory close so that no one ever forgets you and the influence you had on so many lives. Shine your light on us to remind us of what is important and to never take anything for granted. I will miss you my friend, for all that we had and for all that we could have shared together over the years, raising our kids together and taking on the world. You will forever be a piece of my heart.

The Jensen 3 Dearest Anji,
Although I only knew you for a brief time in your life I feel like we have known each other for years. The bond we built and shared was one I will never forget. Lynda, Hailey and I will always cherish those walks around Thetis we had with you, Raya, Sona and Harpaul. And to think that I almost drove right by Rogers and never came in to apply for the assistant managers position in Colwood thus never having the opportunity to meet you. Thank goodness I did! You will always have a place in our hearts and I know you will be watching from above as you always do making sure everyone is becoming the person they were meant to be. Take care we miss you now and always, Bill, Lynda and Hailstorm.

Corinne Russell Anji was my Regional Manager at Indigo and she was an absolute pleasure to work for. She came in and inspired us all to do the best possible job and she was a lady that definitely lead by example. She carried herself with such grace and was such an easy person to get along with and want to work for.
Words cannot describe of how much she touched our lives at work in the short time she was with us. We are grateful for the time we had working with Anji.
My heart goes out to her family and especially to her wife Harpaul and her 2 lovely children, Raya and Sona. I will miss her.
-
Moira I regretfully will not be able to attend. Harpaul I can’t imagine the emptiness you feel. I hope you feel the love of your family and friends surrounding you right now and forever. Anji’s mom, dad, sisters, and rest of her family you know how special anji is, and how much she will be missed. She will leave a void in your lives also. Trust you know that she has touched and inspired all who knew her. Wish I could be there to celebrate her life with you all.

Gulnar Jamal Anji, where do we begin – such a profound loss of a completely loving and devoted wife, a fun and loving mother, an honest and accepting friend. We will miss you more than we can ever express in words. For four years, my family’s life has been blessed with so many shared memories; play dates, Home Depot building workshops, trick or treating, New Year’s Eve, kid’s fairs, weekends away. Over the years we have watched you and your family live a life full of love, adventure and enjoying the simplest of activities. I know of no other couple that loved so deeply, so completely, so constantly. I admire you both for that. Anji, you managed to juggle a successful career, a solid marriage and the parenting of 2 beautiful children so effortlessly. You were the epitome of complete and fulfilled. The hole you have left is so enormous that my heart is bursting with pain for the grief that your parents, sister and especially Harpaul, Raya and Sona are feeling. You really were the best that a person can be. You found the good in people and made them feel good about themselves. People just wanted to be around you and your positive energy. I can’t even imagine life without you in it. You will never be forgotten.
Harpaul, there’s an old saying about how it’s not the years in life but the life in the years – you and Anji had LIFE in those years. And I mean BIGTIME. You did that with each other. Every moment, every opportunity you had to love each other, you both took it. Everyone knows you were everything to each other. I mean how many people can actually say that about their lives. That they found the love of their life and they loved them, and kept on loving them for always. And because the love was so great, the sorrow and grief that you must be feeling is that extreme as well. We will always be here for you, Raya and Sona. And we will do our best to keep Anji’s memory and her love for you all alive.
Longing For One More Day:
When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence… a quiet sadness… A longing for one more day… one more word… one more touch… We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again someday, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.
