I met Anna when we worked together at Wellcome in Beckenham many years ago. She was a wonderful friend and I have such happy memories of nights out, going to concerts, holidays and time spent chatting together. We used to spend hours sitting in her parents garden with henna on our hair waiting for the colour to develop. It smelt awful! Even though we hadn't seen much of each other in recent years. We kept in touch via Facebook to keep up to date with each other adventures. She came to visit in October and brought along a delicious lemon drizzle cake she had made. I will always remember her as a strong independent woman. Thank you for being in my life. Rest in peace my lovely friend. Julie xx

Anna, I can't believe I'm not going to hear your lovely laugh again. We stayed friends after working together in the mid 90s. I was late on my first day (I hadn't realised that the story about the M25 being a car park was real) but as I arrived flustered at reception and asked for you, another lady there (Ursula) told me not to worry, as you'd be cool about it and, of course, you were. It has been a privilege to know you and I hope you realised how much everyone loved you

Anna recruited me into Biogen and was my manager when she worked in the medical team. She was a fantastic boss and I really enjoyed working with her. She looked at things in a completely different way. I loved all the mind maps she used to draw in bright colours when she was planning something and seeing her thought processes. I have very fond memories of some crazy, fun nights out with her involving a lot of laughter. I cannot believe she has gone- she is missed greatly.
