Annette meant so very much to my mother Eve Lipman, who also had macular. It was always a treat for her to have dinner with Annette. To Eve, Annette was an inspiration and the soul of kindness. May her memory be a blessing.

My sympathies to the Cohen family: My mother Alice Tobin O'Brien always spoke so fondly (and often) of Annette during their residence at Beverwyck. Annette was always gracious and warm to my mother, my daughter Brigit on our weekly visits, and to me. Annette's bright personality filled any room she entered: she will be missed.
