Lin and Mike. Please accept my sympathy.
I know how it feels to lose loved ones and in that exact same way.
You will feel better after some time has passed, but you'll never forget her.

Thanks, everyone. Anna was a very complex person who sometimes drove me mad but I never stopped loving her and because she was always a loyal and reliable friend I put up with a lot of things from her that I wouldn't have tolerated from anyone else.
Her heart was full of love; she was passionate, sincere and caring.
Right now there's a huge gap in my life.
One of her last messages to me was to congratulate me on the birth of Amy.
I think my poem says it better than I can say how I feel at her loss in prose.

So sorry to here you lost a good friend, I didn't know her that well, I mainly knew her via chess related topics but she came across are a real nice person. I didn't really know about her illness, she didn't mention something about her health but I never really pick up on it, I regret that.
My condolences to Lin and Mike, I didn't know her that well but I still feel like I lost a friend.
RIP Anna you will be missed in this world, maybe we will see you again in the next, I hope so.
