I will never forget the 'miracle' hairstyles and cuts that Annette gave me when I was in junior and senior high school. (I graduated in 1965.). I extend my heartfelt sympathies to each in her family upon her passing. I hope your fondest memories will provide solace in this time of grief and sorrow.

Such a sweet lady- Still think of the Palanskis every time I drive by their homestead on Maple street. Glad I was able to assist these good people a few times over the years. Had the opportunity to meet with Susan
during the move north and if she's a reflection of the rest of the family, your folks did a good job raising all of you. God bless all of you during this sad yet glorious moment in your lives.
