Wendell & Family,
So sorry for your loss, Annette was a lovely lady, I enjoyed working with her at Valley Mental Health. Until I read her obituary I didn't realize being the same age we would have gone to Mt Jordan Jr High and briefly at Jordan high School together. My prayers go out to you, may she rest in peace.

I was so sorry to learn of Annette's death. Although I did not know her for long, she was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Always friendly, and had a smile. Even when she first got ill, she would always ask how YOU were and did not dwell on her illness. She will be missed. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know she is playing a good round of golf in heaven!
