I can't belive that a year has gone by already. You are still with us in our thoughts each day and missed by everyone.

Traveling through life you can make it so far, but where do you go when you don't know where you are? Life can take away everything in the blink of an eye, but sometimes all you can do is lay down and cry. What do you do when you've reached the end of your rope? Where do you look to find the light that will bring you hope? You can teach yourself to be strong and try to be tough, but eventually there comes a time when you've had enough. I pretend to have an unbreakable shell. But inside I'm going through hell. It's a fight each day not to let my true feelings show. What choice do I have, when I feel like I want to quit? I've learned that I have to get up after taking a hit, so to my true love this message I send, one day we will be together again.


Always, Annette
-R.I.P Chris, I know you and Fancy are looking down on me.

Was shocked and saddened by news of Chris passing away. I sold Chris paint and supplies off and on for over 15 years and shared conversations in recent years about our common fight against diabetes. I pray for his family and friends and may he rest in peace.
