Annette Pelzer Friedley

It will be 13 years on Saturday. We are thinking of our dear aunt Annette and know she is watching over us. She'd be proud of her great nephew and great niece for how smart and talented they are. Continuez à survoler, nous vous surveillerons. La vie continue longtemps après que le plaisir de vivre ait disparu... Deux enfants américains font de leur mieux!!

It will be 12 years on Friday since my aunt, Annette, passed away. I am grateful for the 40 years we had, and I think of her often. Our song still plays when I need her most. Remembering with a tear and a smile.

It's been 11 years now on Wednesday. I often think of Annette when I hear music that we both enjoyed listening to and would sing out loud. Sometimes there are smiles and sometimes there are tears. My kids were too young when she passed to remember her now, so she lives on in the stories I share with them.

When I think of my Aunt Annette, one thing I think of is the song, Jack and Diane, by John Mellencamp. This was the song that stuck in our heads after a long road trip up-north to go fishing. We sang this song on the boat all weekend and laughed about it because we couldn't shake it! This is the song she and I talked about in the last text we had before she passed. I like to think she's watching over me/us, and she comes around to say, Hi! So, whenever I hear Jack and Diane on the radio, I...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Tarell,
You have been in Phil's and my thoughts and prayers.

Tarell and Evan,
In memory of Annette, our family has made a donation to the pipe organ campaign at Sheppard of the Valley Lutheran Church, Apple Valley, MN. We thank you and Annette for the vision of this project which restored and relocated the historic Macalester College pipe organ to Sheppard of the Valley Lutheran Church.
