"Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we will return." [Qur'an 2:156]. I am truly going to miss Anne greatly, she was more than just a supervisor and professor, she was a person who helped you and supported you through your hardships in life but also celebrated your successes with you. Genuinely honoured to have known her and I'm sure that I was just one of the many many lives she impacted positively. Mark and Rachel, I am really sorry for not being able to make the funeral tomorrow, I would have loved to come to show my respects and support but unfortunately I'm out of the country right now. I am sure there will be many people who attend tomorrow and many more who would have wanted to come also and that just shows how loved Anne was! She was a true inspiration. She will continue to live on in many people's minds and memories and she won't be forgotten. My deepest condolences go to you Mark and Rachel and the rest of Anne's family and friends. May God grant you strength and patience in these difficult times. Lots of love, Mahdiyar N.H.Gilani x
