Flipa

 

Flipa, 40, of Kangasala, Pirkanmaa, Finland, died in a car accident on an icy road, on December 27, 2004. She was on her way home from her job at a bookstore when the accident occurred. She had spent most of the past 15 years at home, and she loved this new work with her beloved books. She had a MA and was a certified translator, but was not working in that field. Her main languages were Finnish, German, and Hungarian.

Flipa was a bookworm all of her life, and she had a register listing all of the books she had read since she was 12 years old. Some years, she read over 100 books, and in 2004, she had read 95.
I think that I will use a quote from her brother, BC'er Makari ,to tell a bit more about Flipa.

"Anna had a family, husband and three children (12, 10 and 6 years). Her sudden death was a big loss for them but also everyone of us, relatives, friends. Anna was a friendly, nice, uncomplicated person, maybe a little idealistic in a good way. I think that lately she was very happy for many things - she had a great family, a new job after years at home, their house was just renovated. . She lived a happy, but too short life. We miss Anna a lot."
