My fondest memories of Annette are from when I was a young girl. I always marveled at how fiercely she loved her family. I wished my own grandmother would love me like that. But Annette didn’t leave me wanting. She loved me like that even though I wasn’t her own. She was my sponsor for my confirmation and there wasn’t a better person to have by my side. She was one of the kindest, most loving people I’ve ever known. I’m very sad to lose her. She and Valerie are together and watching over everyone now, especially Lou and Jeanie. I love you all.
