She was such an wonderful friend. It is difficult not to be forever missed. But we also miss the proper way to express this.

Just few words, a simple thought crossing my mind now, about "the way we were" when we were colleagues in high school, in Craiova...

Dear Anda,

I am missing you so badly tonight. I think of you always. You were such a wonderful friend. I know if you were still with us, things would be so different and wonderful.
I love you, Anda!

Dear Anda, these days are all about you and how soon you were taken away from all of us. We still miss you dearly!

I am as overwhelmed today by Anda's departure as I was seven years ago. She was a very good friend of mine and one of the most special person I have ever met.

Today is the 7th anniversary of Anda Gadidov's passing.
In the Bible, the number 7 is mentioned 735 times. If you count the variations of the word seven, this number increases to 860.

Like many others, I am a former student of Dr. Gadidov at KSU. She has left a big mark in my professional life. Because of her guidance and inspiration, I am now working as a faculty member where I get to help and inspire other students too. You are greatly missed, Dr. Gadidov.

I didn't learn that my friend, Anda, had left us until today. She was one of my professors at KSU. She meant a lot to me.

Back around 2010, a few of us students became serious about pursuing careers as actuaries. We wanted to learn more actuarial mathematics while at KSU, but we didn't see a course listed that would accomplish that goal. After asking around, we learned that if we asked Dr. Gadidov with a "pretty please", she might teach a directed study course in probability (1st actuarial exam), so we did. Of course she decided to help us because she was so kind. During that semester, we learned probability theory from one of the absolute best. As we all know, Dr. Gadidov was absolutely brilliant.

A few years later, after her great instruction paid off in my life, she asked me to come back to KSU and be one of the speakers on "career night". I was very grateful to give back, so I did.

What's the moral of all of this? It's that Anda Gadidov devoted her life to helping others and pursuing her love of mathematics. These are things to be proud of and look up to. I am lucky to have had Anda in my life. I miss her and I will always look back on my memories of her fondly.

Just found out this, so sad... 15 years ago we met during my first year's M.S program where you taught us Probability. You made the course so fun and it enabled me to pass the Actuary P1 test on my first try without much study. 

You are missed Anda...

I started a PhD program this year, and I am often reminded of the times we would work on probability research together. I definitely wouldn't have made it this far without your guidance, Dr. Gadidov. Your encouragement and mentorship set me on this path. Thank you for everything. Miss you!

We will fondly remember the days we spent together. But with regret, however, because these days are gone.

Dear Anda! I cannot believe 5 years have passed already. I think of you as it was yesterday and I still miss you dearly!

I remember the numerous times when we talked about real life situations/ problems and their mathematical/ statistical modeling. I miss our elaborate chats! What are you thinking about covid-19, by the way?!

Always thinking of you, my dear friend!

Dear Anda, I still cannot believe you are gone... I keep a picture of us in my office (SC531), where we had such a great time together. I miss your smile, jokes, courage, wiseness, friendship, etc., but I cherish dearly all the memories we built together. Today, 3 years after your passing, I would like to take a moment only to be with you! Yours, Ana-Maria

A message from Anda from 24th of May 2006
"Draga Dorian,
Am ajuns acasa ieri (suna straniu sa spun acasa aici in Atlanta, dar ma
simt acasa). Am inceput sa ma dezmeticesc. Ieri in avion inca mai vorbeam in romaneste cu stewardesele care nu stiau decit olandeza si
engleza, in fine se pare ca ceasul interior nu se schimba chiar asa de
usor dupa fusul orar.
Inca o data vreau sa-ti multumesc pentru primirea facuta si sper sa ne
mai revedem de o parte sau cealalta a oceanului.
Sarutari Marianei si numai bine la toti ai tai.
Cu drag,
Anda"

I just found out about the passing away of Anda. I am shocked and deeply saddened.

We were colleagues in graduate school at Texas A&M
University in the 90's.

May God Rest You in Peace.....

My sincere condolences to the Family.

We're starting Kennesaw Women in Mathematics up again this year. Can you believe it -- I'm no longer an advisor -- I'm a student again, working on my Math degree! You, Dr. Babenko, and Dr. Croicu have inspired me to take this organization's mission to heart, to live the advice I used to give out! :-) Missing you something awful.

During this year that passed by, Anda was in my thoughts even more often than when she was with us. I wish i could add something special in loving remembrance of Anda, for she was such a special person. But whatever one says does not change the fact that she left us forever.

Last week I discussed Monte Carlo method in my class and for the moment I taught you were there. I fondly remember times when we were arguing about it in my office. Anda, I missed you.

I remember fondly the moments spent together. A person with a big heart definitely found a good place in heaven. But too early .... For us it is a big loss.

It with deep sadness that I have learned (only now...) that my dear friend Anda Gadidov has passed away. Beautiful, intelligent, extremely kind and helpful she will always be remembered as a very special person by all who had the privilege to know her.
May she rest in peace.

I first met Anda when she came to Georgia Tech. While she was there and later when she was at Kennessaw State, we worked on problems in mathematical finance. Kind, brilliant, knowledgable, creative, and industrious, she was a superb colleague. Anda, the epitome of a refined lady, made the world a better place in so many ways and I will miss her greatly.

Florin and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Anda.The terrible news came by email from a high school colleague. In our woderful memories from high school Anda stays as a tall, slim,elegant, always smiling, always honest, a bit shy, extraordinary smart girl.Then we heard about her professional successes and saw beautiful photos with Radu and Bogdan. Anda looked always radiant in such a calming way. The tributes show that she will be missed by so many people. We wish her family strength and resilience in continuing their journeys without her.

There are times in life when you can not or do not want to accept reality .
People , whom I 've known that I 've appreciated disappear at some point next to us .
Physically disappear . They remain good memories , stories , thoughts . News of their departure to somewhere else, make you feel closer to the family of the departed , to try to take some of their pain .
There are many years since I've never met Anda , but I knew her there on. I'm also always enjoyed all received good news about her , about Radu , her husband , her family .
Light a candle as a sign of appreciation for her and hope that the family will get through these hard times .
God rest her soul in peace !

I first met Dr. Gadidov on a study abroad trip to Romania in the summer of 2010. The memories of this trip, the talks we attended, and presented are unforgettable. Romania is a beautiful country and I'm a better person for having those experiences. Fast forward a few years later, when I was working closely with her in the Kennesaw Women in Mathematics group-- in her interactions with me and with others, her patience, her stick-to-it-ness... I came to deeply respect and admire her gentle strength, kindness, and acceptance of all kinds of questions and concerns. Her door and heart were always open. You are loved. You are missed.

I learned with sadness the passing away of Anda. I had first
met her when she was visiting Georgia Tech
and I had been touched by
her brightness and gentleness. We kept bumping into each other throughout the years and I enjoyed these encounters.
They are already missed. 
My sincere condolences to her family.

We were friends since we were kids, almost 50 years ago, and shared so many wonderful moments. Anda, her memory will last for ever, as long as life will go on. Her joy of life, her so well balanced way being was always a true friend support. We enjoyed math, french, english, piano together.
Thank you Anda,

I left an old recording "Fur Elise" , recorded as we were in high school 1976 and used to play it at friends gatherings. Let the music speak for us.

I had the privilege of having Dr. Gadidov as a mentor for undergraduate research as well as being her student in one of her classes. She was very knowledgeable and always took the time to help me understand. I will never forget all the valuable things she has taught me as well as her sense of humor. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
