It is with heartfelt sadness that I tell you that Anna has passed away. Anna had been ill for some time and a few years ago had tumors removed from one of her kidneys. A few months back more tumors were found and the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.
Anna was placed into a Hospice in Frankfurt, Germany about 6 weeks ago. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. She had been ambulatory most of the time, but recently had to use a wheel chair to get around and told me just a day or so ago that her lungs were filling with fluid.
I tried to get her to post or pm members about her condition, not just here but at other forums so that members that knew her could tell her how much they appreciated her but she said "The world's a lot bigger than me. There are so many things that are higher up on the list of priorities than my health issues are in God's hands."
Her faith remained strong throughout her whole ordeal.
[Zechariah 13:9] There will be three groups on the Day of Judgment: one of thoroughly righteous people, one of thoroughly wicked people and one of people in between. The first group will be immediately inscribed for everlasting life; the second group will be doomed in Gehinnom [Hell], as it says, "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence" [Daniel 12:2], the third will go down to Gehinnom and squeal and rise again, as it says, "And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name and I will answer them"
I pray that her 'refinement' is brief and that we meet again in The World to Come.
I'm thankful that she told me about her condition and that I was able to tell her how much her friendship meant to me and how much she was loved and will be missed. We spoke often in pm and I will miss her a great deal.

Very sad news about Anna.
She has been so active on this board that I believe she kept it alive at times. Her contributions here will be sorely missed.

DAS She really was a prolific poster at many sites and will truly be missed. She was smart and knew how to dig for information on things. She was very interesting.

There are many people on many sites that are thinking of Anna right now. Jenn, Gibby and BigLin knew her the best for many years. They must be devastated...

Gibby is away, her forum is in maintenance mode, I think she is on holiday and probably doesn't know yet, I guess she will be getting some sad news when she gets back. It is such a shame.

Anna was always sincere and passionate and an incredibly hard worker. Frankly there have been times this last six months or so when she has more or less kept this place running single-handed.
I always liked her - she had a sense of humour, she was caring and compassionate.
We may have disagreed on many things but I always respected her.
She was a true and loyal friend.
I have never forgotten how some years ago when Lin was being viciously trolled and persecuted online and via hateful e-mails it was Anna who came to her defence when no one else stood up for her.
I am so sad at your loss, dear Anna.
If there is a heaven I hope you go there.

You can know people for a lot of years and not be close. Anna confided in three people that she was close to. biglinmarshall.proboards.com/thread/4267/checkin?page=38

It sad, she mentioned in June that she had been to her brother funeral and she also said "This pic is about 5 or 6 years old before health issues started taking me down."
I kind of never noticed she said "me" I think I misread that bit and thought she was referring to her bother, I wish I'd noticed at the time, but then if I did I would probably have assumed it was nothing too serious. I've kind of been rather busy recently so I don't always read posts properly or even digest the contents. It is kind of sad that her posts are her but she isn't. I just wish I had not been so busy at the time.
