My sincere condolences to Andrew and Heather. I came to know Annette when she and I started, along with Dr. Hayes, Candlelighters in Greenville. She was one of the sweetest, kindest, most loving person I knew, and I am so thankful for the time that we had together. I know she will be missed by the family and all those who knew and loved her.
