She was a wonderful aunt with an outstanding sense of humor.  She always made you laugh.  Enjoyed our one-on-one talks - just wish there was more!  She will be missed but not forgotten - she is always with us in our minds and our hearts.  My prayers go out to Uncle Jerry and my cousins.

Annette, You welcomed me and my collie dog Dan into you home almost 4 years ago.  Since that time, I came to know you as a woman of grace and generosity...and amazing courage.  Hemingway said that Courage is grace under pressure.  You are that Courage. I am fortunate to have known you...and your family.  I wish for you Peace.  Love   Bill and Carol Adubato Brown and Family...and Dan, too.  Arf!

I called you Aunt Annette even though I didn't know you well because you made me feel like family.  You were so loving and kind.  I loved your stories and your laughter.  I will miss you and I pray peace for Uncle Gerry and your family.

I can only say that she is with my mom and I hope that they will be together forever.  Happy 70th Birthday, you will be forever missed and remembered.  Our deepest condolences.

My deepest sympathey to my cousin for his loss.  I also send to his sons & family.  I knew Annette for a long time..  She was the best thing that happened to Gerald..  They were crazy for each other May God Bless.

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home....I want to thank you for being the best mother in law that anyone could ever ask for...you are an amazing person and will truly be missed!! Michael and I love you with all our heart!! xoxo

Though I didn't know Annette that long, she was a wonderful neighbor and friend, always greeting you with a smile.  With prayers for healing, I offer my condolences and blessings to Gerry and his family.

Our sympathy for your loss.  Psalm and39:12

Dear Aunt Annette, we are thankful that we have developed a relationship with you and Uncle Gerald over the last few years. You have been such a joy. We truly loved spending time with you and being a family. You fought a good fight, you were strong til the end. You are going to be missed by many. Love Maria & Lacey

Seventy years ago today, a wonderful and loving person was born into this world. Forty-four years ago, you gave birth to a boy an instilled your values of strength, dignity and loyalty, that boy is now my husband. Eighteen years ago, you welcomed me into your home with open arms and immediately made me feel like a part of the family. Words cannot express the sadness and sorrow that I'm feeling. You were a second mother to me and I will miss you with all my heart. I will miss your guidance, advice and most of all, your sense of humor. I promise to take care of your son and your husband each and every day. There is not a day that goes by where you're not in my thoughts; but most of all, you will always be in my heart. I love you.

Jeannine

God saw you getting tired. And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, And whispered "Come To Me" With tearful eyes we watched you. And saw you pass away. Although we Loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A Golden Heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. God Broke Our Hearts to prove to us He only takes the best...
Rest in Peace Annette we Love you and we will miss you always.....we cherish all the beautiful times we shared with you...
