Annette Blaschka

Annette was a wonderful woman with great strength and laughter. I was blessed to have met her for a short time but her memory will always be with me. She will be deeply missed and cherished, the 5 south family will always remember her.

Annette was a wonderful person to know and work with on the CBC. She had a way of making everyone feel special. When Annette was working, there was always laughter. I know you are making many friends in heaven now, just like you did on earth. May God bless your loved ones as I know you will be greatly missed by all.

she was the happiest person I ever cared for. In the middle of all her pain, she always made me laugh.
she will so be missed. Hugs for her parents friends and family, they made my job so much easier. May God bless all of you.

Annette taught me the meaning of courage. I met her while working OB at Metro. She was funny, intelligent and an excellent Nurse. During her illness, I would visit her and no matter how badly she felt, she always had a smile for you. She was optimistic to the end and always thinking of everyone else - how they were feeling. I will miss her dearly. She is an Angel and belongs with the Lord in Heaven.

Annette and I spent alot of our family time together as we were growing up. We gave Aunt Pat, Uncle Bob, Uncle Herb and Aunt HM a real run for their money a few times! But I had a chance to get to know a very dear, sincere, and loving person.

As we grew older, we may not have spent as much time together as our families and careers blossomed, but I always enjoyed her stories of her time in the Emergency Room before she moved to the Child Birth Center. What a riot!

Annette was a "stranger but once" to everyone. She attracted people like a magnet and lit up the room when she entered. I am very thankful that I could be a part of her life. She taught me a great deal about life in watching her great courage in dying. She came from an awesome family and I am thankful to know them and their great love for her. She made all our lives better for knowing her.Love you forever Annette, Godspeed. Maggie

We were tied to the same family tree. If not close by distance, we shared a heritage and now share a loss of someone who strenghtened all the family through happiness and tears. God bless you and all who miss you.

Annette was a wonderful person. The first time I remember meeting Annette was at the birth of her son Christopher, I was her nurse. Shortly after, she transfered to OB and we began working together. From there, we became "sisters", skiing, beaching and having great times together. We always would say, "good thing God never made us single at the same time... we would be trouble." One thing we did together that we both loved was to go to Grand Haven and sit on the beach. I told her, when I die,...
