Oh Gaylene! I am so sorry I did not learn of your sister's death until after the services. I would have tried to get to the visitation to give you a big hug. Please let your whole family know how sorry I am for their pain.

To Annette's family.
I was shocked to read that Annette had passed away. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Annette was a good friend to me for many years & we had a lot of laughs together. She was someone that you could sit & talk to for hours. Years have passed since I have talked to her, but I will always remember her as a sweet & caring person.
Thank you Annette for being you!
In sympathy

Annette was such a lovely person -- sweet, kind, cheerful and always fun to talk to. Although I never had the pleasure to meet her in person, she always put a smile on my face whenever we spoke on the phone. She will be missed greatly by everyone that knew her. May GOD bless Annette and reunite her with her family in heaven.
I know Annette cherished all her family, and my deepest condolences to you all during this difficult time. GOD bless you.

God saw that she was getting tired and a cure was not to be,
so He put His arms around her & whispered"come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away,
although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.
A loving heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to show us,,,
He only takes the best.
may He be with you all at this time of grieving.
Deepest sympathy and many heartfelt prayers

Words can't really describe the emotion you feel when a loved one passes away. My aunt Annette was a special person to many people. She brought a smile to the faces of strangers everyday for years and she was always happy for you if you had good news.
The day Annette got put in the hospital, I teased her and said, 'geesh, Annette...could you get better, I'd really like someone to scratch my back.' She didn't even pause she said, 'sure, turn around.' That just makes me smile...I always loved having my back scratched and she would just sit there and scratch forEVER.
Our pain over losing you won't go away, Annette...but I know that it will get easier to live with everyday...and I hope you know how very very much you meant to all of us.

Annette was such a sweetie. I remember that bright red hair and
her running around the house when I stayed over nite with DeAnna.
I am sure there is special place in heaven for her.
