Annette was the bright, beautiful young lady who sat next to me the second semester of senior English at SFDS. She was artistic, had a soft giggle and a lot of us were caught up in her large brown eyes. We all knew she was gifted in art and a top student in all subjects. I only became aware of her great life by reading her obituary in the Tribune. It is good to be aware of her significant, vast contributions to others through her dedicated art. Appreciate each person we encounter in life. God Bless Annette.
