I’m deeply saddened to hear about Anne’s passing.
I first met her when I was 12, at Fei Tian Dance School in San Francisco. Though I was only there for two years before moving away, the memories I have of her have stayed with me. I’ll never forget how she supported me when I injured my back, or how she brought so much joy and warmth to every everyone. Anne was one of the kindest teachers I’ve ever had—she made everyone feel cared for, and we all loved being around her.
I’m truly sorry I didn’t get a chance to say hello when I returned.
May Anne rest in peace. Her light and kindness touched so many, and she will never be forgotten.

Although I did not know her well personally, I was often told by her husband, Seunghyun Min, that she was a brave, kind, and loving person.
It is deeply saddening, but I believe she did not see this tragedy merely as a misfortune. Rather, she may have chosen to spend her time cherishing those around her and creating meaningful moments.
I am certain that she lived a beautiful life, surrounded by wonderful people.
I am sincerely sending all my love, deepest respect, and heartfelt condolences to this couple and her family.

I remember the week in spring 2010 Anne first arrived at our new school in SF - I was 11, and I thought she was so grown up at 18. Her kind and calm presence was a reliable comfort from the start.
When I found out she had a younger brother, I remember being shocked but quickly realized it all made sense, she was our teacher but I felt we could always confide in her as one would an older sister.
I'm grateful for the time we spent together in school: rehearsals, going thru the communal makeup bags lol, front desk hangouts, costume inventory. You were always so present. Thank you Anne, for the time spent with my family. We'll remember you always and celebrate your life having found your callings, your soulmate, and chosen families. I'll hear your laughter and the cadence of your voice and remember your kindness ❤️🩹 Sending condolences to John and Ethan, and everyone who loved Anne.
M. Hui & Family

A brief reunion in SF, May 20 2022

I was wandering around San Francisco when my phone died, unsure of what to do. I walked into a dance studio and met Anne, who graciously offered me her phone charger. We ended up talking for over an hour—she shared pieces of her incredible life, and I left feeling comforted and inspired. From that day on, she continued to support me, attending my concerts and sending kind, encouraging messages. Sending so much love to Anne’s family during this time. She was a truly beautiful soul, and I’ll always remember the warmth and generosity she showed me on a stressful day.

Anna was always one of my biggest supporters, and her love for Corky was always extended to me and my little business. She was the strongest woman I know, and will be dearly missed.

Words cannot express the loss of this beautiful soul. Anne was truly a beautiful person who was loved by anyone who met her. She brought smiles to everyone she met because her smile just did that to other people, they were so contagious. When people were down she would bring them up, regardless of how she felt. My dear friend Ethan my heart and prayers are with you and all while we mourn the loss of our dearest Anne. My heart is broken for this tragic loss, for those of us that knew Anne we all know she would not want us to be sad but to only remember the laughs, the memories, all the good times and always the good food. May she rest in eternal peace 🙏🕊️❤️
To my dear friend Ethan me and Euijin are always here for you brother ❤️🙏🕊️ unfortunately I do not have any photos with Anne, but I do have one of you and me that just shows how happy she made you, I remember you before and after meeting and the light in your eyes was shining bright all the time!

There are no words that can truly capture the immense loss of Anne, but I will try anyway.
My first memories of her go back to when I was just 11 years old. I remember the warmth and sense of safety I felt when she smiled at me. She was one of my first dance teachers at school, leading our tumbling class with quiet strength and constant encouragement. Even then, she stood out—always kind, always uplifting. Over the years, she watched me grow and taught me not only about dance, but also about resilience, grace, and navigating life's challenges.
As an adult, during times when I felt lost and uncertain, Anne was always down to have a conversation or experience something new together. I’ll never forget seeing one of our favorite bands, Sales, together in San Francisco—it was such a special moment, sharing that experience as friends for the first time.
Although life eventually took us in different directions, I’ll always cherish the memories we created. Even as she battled cancer, Anne remained a bright light—bringing joy, positivity, and strength to everyone around her.
It hurts deeply to know she’s no longer with us. But I’ll hold on to the beautiful moments we shared and carry her in loving memory with me always 🪷❤️

The sweetest and kindest soul I knew at fei tian. She always had the brightest smile and never missed a chance to say hi to me. Forever and always thankful of meeting her

Your smile got me through so many days in high school. You were kind, fun, and caring—the warmest soul I met at Fei Tian. I hope you’re at peace now.
I wish I had told you what you meant to me when I had the chance.
Anne, your smile and little jokes pulled me through days I didn’t think I’d make it through.
I don’t think I ever said thank you. I was too caught up in my own world—too proud, too unsure, too busy trying to forget those years.
But looking back now, you were one of the only people who truly made me feel seen.
You were kind without expecting anything in return. You were light when I didn’t even know I needed it.
I’m sorry I never said any of this when you were here. I hope you know it now. And I hope wherever you are is soft, warm, and full of peace.

love you KP forever and always
