I had the pleasure of working grief camp with Annette through Mid-Michigan Therapy Dogs. She always had a kind, sweet soul. She is one of the people whose presence will be missed on this earth. My heart goes out to her family.

The shock of Annette's passing is still fresh. Annette, was my cousin. I recall many Sunday evenings, when we were younger talking for hours sharing with each other about what was going on in our lives. I thank God, for blessing us with one of the kindest people I've known.

I've known Annette since Jr. High school. We visited each other off and on after graduation many times, as we both still lived in Flint. She was always cheerful and fun to be with. After I moved away and was gone for nearly 30 years, we reconnected 2 years ago. My husband and I got to have dinner with her and Ken just a few months before he passed. I wish I had kept in touch with her this past year. We spoke online. I will miss her.

Annette was my youngest sister and losing her was a shock. As I think about her I remember her smile and laughter and on that light note, I think of how she loved certain foods and that she was always the last at the table to finish eating. She loved her family and her dogs and they were often the topic of her conversations. She talked positively about her co-workers at Hurley Hospital and I've wondered how she would be missed there so thank you to those of you who took time to write a note. She will be missed by the family. No one can replace her - she created her own special spot in our hearts.

What a tremendous void Annette has left in all of our lives. I miss my friend everyday. My prayers are with her family.

Words cannot express how sad I am and how much I miss Annette. She was a wonderful secretary and every time I don't know the answer to something, I think "Annette would have known that." I think of her often and miss her laughter and her willingness to whatever was asked. I take comfort in knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I worked with Annette for years and never saw her without a smile.  It didn't matter what was going on in her life,  she aways had a twinkle in her eyes and kind words to say.  She will be greatly missed.

Annette was a valued co worker and has already been greatly missed. Seems so quiet without her laughter to brighten the day. Au revoir mon cheri as she used to say!

Annette was a wonderful person all around. We were co-workers and neighbor's. We spoke often about her dogs and how she loved them so. If I ever had a problem at work, she was the go to person. Always so helpful and always doing for others. She will be forever missed.

I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful woman. She was such a very nice lady and every time she comes into the office there's a big bright smile that lit up the room . She will be missed

She was not only my sister she was my best friend. She sent me a pillow years ago that sits on my couch.  There is a blonde and a brunette with a ponytail with their arms around each other looking out at a sunrise over water.  It says, "God made us sisters.  Hearts made us friends."
