Oh sweet Annette! I just heard the news that you had passed. You were such a light in so many lives. You helped to mold me into someone who went into the education field! I was one of you peer tutors at Jerome and loved every minute of it. She was spirited in her own way and was a beautiful soul. I hope you find everything you are looking for up there! Celtic strong!
