Annette was a sweet lady. I ejoyed working with her. I remeber when we laughed about me calling her Mrs. Betty. She would always answer me when I called. The whole time she never corrected me. I will miss her very much. My sympathy goes out to the entire family.

Karen, Karla and Freddy,
Annette will be truly missed. I have so many fond memories of the trouble that she and I got into. It was not hard to do. I can still hear her fussing at me over something I did. Her heart was big and thought of others before herself. She was mother to me. I am so honored to have had that special time with her and got to know her very loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

You both are in my thoughts and prayers. I celebrate and am thankful for your mother and grandmother's life because without her I would have never had the blessing of knowing you both.

God bless you both and your families.

Annette, you will be dearly missed. You were like a motherly type to all you came across. You accepted everyone for who they were. You loved everyone in your very special ways. Words can not express how much sadness we have to have lost you. We know that God has taken you for your eternal rest, for he only takes the best. We will always remember the wonderful moments that we share with you on 11 Tower, as our unit secretary, here at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.

We love you Annette.
