Through the years we drifted apart, but you will ALWAYS be in my heart. I know you're watching over us and raising hell. This is not good-bye but see you soon. I love you grandma!

Annette may not be here for us to talk to but we all know the party has started in heaven as she has been reunited with her Mother and many other love ones. I will keep you all in my prayers.

To my uncle Smitty & my cousins, Alan & Jimmy:
I'd like to offer my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved wife & mother, Annette.
When I broke the news to my son, Troy, he said: "I remember Aunt Annette... she was cool."... it doesn't get much better than that.
Please know that all of you will remain in my prayers just as you have always been for these many years past.
You are my family & I love you.
May God give you the strength to endure & may He always bless you & keep you safely in the palm of His hand.
Troy's daughter.
