Take comfort in knowing that Annette is now resting in the arms of our Lord. I extend my deepest condolences to the entire family. She was a very loving, giving, and caring person to all she came in contact with and will be greatly missed by all. I'm sure she will be guiding and protecting all of us from above.
Our memories of all the family years of laughter and smiles are what will be cherished! Your beautifully expressive eyes and smile will forever remain in our hearts as will your famous saying "mind your own business" which always left us laughing.
Rest in peace,
Pat, Maria, Chrissie, Rich, Jackie and Kendra (and Odie too)!
