Anna, you were so loved and will be deeply missed. So hard to say goodbye to you. Such a strong, courageous, funny, beautiful soul. Sending so much love to Nathaniel, Kirsten, Murray and Mum & Dad xx

So very sorry to hear the heartbreaking news about Anna. Anna was my first friend when I moved to Aberdeen & started working at The Thistle Hotel in the 90's. Many happy memories of working with Anna & night's out with her & Kirsten.
We sadly lost touch when I moved away, but I have never forgotten her, such a lovely, beautiful, friendly, caring & happy person.
My deepest condolences to all the family x 💔

"a huge smile, a quick tongue, loved to hear her talk", yes I totally agree! I loved that too. And I loved to hear her sing, so passionate ... I met Anna at the Aberdeen Thistle in 1997. We worked together at reception. She told me, the german girl everything about the Scots and about the steep coast she loved so much - and she loved scottish music. One song was running up and down the whole time while we were on duty;-) Loch Lomond! I can still hear it and I just put that on again while writing this text. I am so sorry to hear! Altough I have not heard from her since then tears are run down my face. I can not believe she is not under us anymore.

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where we two have passed so many blithesome days
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
O you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
I mind where we parted on yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue, the Heiland hills we view
And the moon shinin' out from the gloamin'
O you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
The wee bird may sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping:
The broken heart will ken nae second spring again
And the world does not know how we're grievin'
O you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond
