I loved Aunt Annette's laugh and smile. She seemed to always smile and enjoyed family. Her big eyes were warm and welcoming and melted into a giggle or laugh. I know Kermit was waiting at heaven's door for her and I know Calma had the cards dealt when she arrived! Sending prayers and hugs for all of you!
