======================================
My friend Anna Christianer was born in London, England sometime in the 1960's, I don't know the exact date. She was married to a much older man at a young age, and has a daughter surviving her who I believe is in her 20's now. During her lifetime, besides marriage and motherhood, Anna had a career as a model. She was very proud of this, and as you can see she was very young, pretty, thin & healthy looking. She was pre-deceased by a sister who passed from breast cancer. Anna, unfortunately was felled by M.S. sometime in the last decade, but it did not diminish her spirit, or desire to travel. I was very fortunate to have met her at the "Dark Shadows" festival in Los Angeles in 2000. She attended almost every festival after that, including the "Halloween-athons" in Tarrytown, NY. It was not easy for her to travel, as she was confined to a wheelchair, but she did it. She was very determined to fill her last days with exploring as much of life as she could, she often traveled around overseas also.
She sent me and our mutual friend Kallie these photos just before she passed. She told her Parents not to notify us of her passing until after the Holidays if it happened sooner. She passed away on Dec. 1st, 2003. Her Parents didn't want to let me think she was still alive, as I was writing to her and had no idea, so they let me know right away. But, that was Anna, always thinking of others until the day she died. The "Dark Shadows" festivals were very important to her, as she made many friends at them, including Lara Parker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Marie Wallace, Dennis Patrick, Chris Pennock and Ben Martin. Plus a multitude of other fans. She is survived by her Mother Lotte, and her Step-Father Tony, who were very kind and caring towards her, and like me, will miss Anna very much in our lives.
In Loving Memory,
Richard Hatch
