Not sure what to say?

Thank you for your hospitality to Ross, Andrew, and me when we visited you in your DeLand home. I am glad we were able to see you there.

Dr MaryAnn Wimsatt

A truly beautiful, caring, and gentle person. It would be impossible to count the number of lives she touched so richly. We offer our prayers of peace and consolation for the entire family.

She and Bryan have always been there for us. She showed me what it was to be a fighter. She will always be in my heart. My love goes out to the family who we have always counted as ours. My thoughts and special love to Bryan

Our prayers are with you as you celebrate the life of a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. She was an amazing person and we feel blessed to have been able to call her "friend." We will miss her!

Susan, I was sorry to read about the loss of your mother. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Peace and comfort, Susan Weaver Jones

My dear friends, We are sending love and light to fill the dark space in your hearts today. I wish we could be with you for the services. We are so so sad for your loss. With deepest sympathy and fondest love for you all, Michelle (Shumaker) Polgar and family

As Vicki said, Annette was a mom to us all. I'll never forget her calculus tutoring sessions with Mary and I. Bless her heart for not giving up on me though I could barely grasp shells and slicing. My heart and mind is with all of you at this difficult time. I loved your mom and so glad she was a part of my life. She fought a hard battle and we all will miss her. Much love to you all!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I think of Mrs. Gillespie driving all of us around in the Volvo. She was a mother to all. She will be missed.
