Anna Jansen MacDonald has died

Only in December I was writing about how my niece Anna had just put her leukemia back into remission, again, with the help of 1,000 paper cranes from her classmates at Churchill Alternative School.

However I am in the wretched position of having to relay the following note from Anna’s aunt, Janet:

February 25, 2008

Anna passed away early this morning. She was with her family, surrounded by singing and love.

When details of Anna’s life celebration are decided, I will send another note. There are some recent pictures on Anna’s site.

I wish that rather than an email you could each have a warm hug with this news.

There should be a notice in the Citizen tomorrow or so. When I find it, I’ll hyperlink to it.
