Dear Gayle & family,
The service was so beautiful,the love we all have for your Mother could be felt in that gathering of family and friends. I will miss so many things about Annette, our great visits, checking out her garden, roses, shopping, laughing, etc. but mostly her friendship. Annette will always be in my heart. May you find peace and strength in the presence of God's love.

Gayle & family,
That was such a beautiful service, it was like Annette was right there with us.
You know she was loved by so many people and she will be with us in our hearts forever.
You have such a beautiful family, I can see why Annette adored you all. It just broke my heart when little William was crying and said he had the best grammy.
May God be with all of you and watch over you.

I had the opportunity of suggesting to Annette that she apply for a position at Sierra. I had become acquainted with her at her work in Auburn; I found her friendly, highly qualified in her secretarial and people skills. At firs, she wondered what kind of chance she had to be hired, but the process was simple because of her multiple talents, her ability to get along with others so well, and her solid determination to do the job with precision and no complaint.
One thing Annette never...

Gayle and Family: I will be with you on Friday, not in person, but in my heart. I'll be thinking of Annette's beautiful spirit, caring heart, and lovely smile. May her memory continue to comfort you in your sorrow. I am saddened at your loss, but have admired Annette's courage and yours throughout her illness. My tribute is being sent to MMRF with love.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Annette a few years thru Sierra College, but her kindness, sweetness, honesty, brilliance and fairness spoke out so loudly to me. I know she will be missed by so many. She spoke so often to me of her daughter and grandchildren. For them I am most sorry. I know she is with the angels and for that I hope you will find comfort.
