Dreadful news came from Yerevan. Levon Aronian‘s wife, Arianne Caoili passed away following the tragic car accident two weeks earlier. Our deepest condolences to Levon Aronian. No words can describe our shock and grief. In this dark time of life, we are sending all the strength in the world to Levon, the couple’s family, and friends. “I have no words to express the grievance over my wife Arianne’s death. She was intelligent, hard working and joyous person that lived a beautiful life. I love you honeybun, sleep tight….” wrote Levon Aronian on Twitter.
