Kelly,John & Dustin. Your family has always been good friends with our family. From dance classes,competitions,recitals and many dance trips to all the weekends the girls spent at each others houses and trips on the boat. I have cherished Annette's friendship for many years and will deeply miss her. What a wonderful lady who loved and was so proud of her family. RIP Annette... The Roberts family

I remember Annette as a child and teenager, our parents were friends. She was always beautiful and kind. I definitely admired her! I wish that I had kept in contact with her after I moved away to college. She remains a gorgeous girl that was so loved by her family in my memories and heart.

Kelly, John, Dustin and family - I loved and adored Annette. I sat by her several days a week while we watched our daughters grow up dancing...15 years in all. Every leap, turn, and tap that Kelly made gave her joy and peace. I know she loved her family, and enjoyed doing many things for you...sometimes preparing a simple meal, or fixing a costume, or bringing a glass of water at night to a thirsty child. Her life was filled with joy for her family. Annette's light will be missed on this earth, but I know she will always help shine a light from above for all of us to see. Bless you- Connie and Jackie O'Hara
