This is one of those instances for which you could say "life sucks".
Anne's sudden death has been a great shock.
We had recently been talking about getting together and possibly performing again. She was, as usual, being very modest about what her contribution would be; I was in no doubt. A voice and talent like that were gifts that needed to be shared. Anybody that heard her sing would know exactly what I mean.
My thoughts and best wishes go to her family. I have lost a great friend.
