“When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be”. I know that is what Annette is doing at this very minute. A wonderful woman who raised a good family and touched so many other lives during her life here on earth. She will be missed. We will remember and be grateful for the memories you left for your family and friends.

I use to see my aunt when I was  growing up first I thought she was a model always fashion icon but she was my KOOL AUNT. I always wanted to raid her CLOSET. AUNTIE U WILL BE MISSED

To my beautiful auntie I will miss our conversations, eating lunch together and most of all the smile that lit up the room when I came in with ice-cream and cookies 😍! GOD said it was time for you to leave this place and come be with him,no more pain . I LOVE YOU Auntie until we meet again watch over us all. Family make sure you know that GOD IS REAL !

My dearest friend Annetta and co-worker.   What a joy and delight I will  always have  in remembering all the many fun times we shared over the years.  God has  given you wings  to enter in the gates of  heaven where you will feel no more pain and give you peace and tranquility. In my heart you will  never be forgotten.   
Blessings to the family.🙏🏽🙏🏽

I would like to express my deepest condolences to my friend Annette 's family. Loss of a loved one is never easy. But the loss of a child or mother are the deepest pain that someone can feel. Ms. S. you can always have the piece of mind know that you did your best to care for your mother during her lengthy illness. You are going to miss your mother unmeasurable. But always remember that you don't miss what you never had. Be thankful that you had Annette to miss. Precious memories how they linger. May you lean on God for strength and your precious memories of your mother to get you through this monumental time in your life. The heart remembers fondest what it has loved the most. Of course it will never be the same without your mother but each year is going to get easier. Ask God for strength one day at a time. One of the legacies that my friend Annette left behind is that she so proudly looked and carried herself as an African Queen although she is African American. Annette was a very proud African American woman. She is at peaceful rest now. She has left all of the pain from illnesses behind. My  thoughts,prayers, and condolences to both of Annette 's children, grand children, and her entire family.
