While I never had the pleasure of personally meeting Annette, she was a good chat buddy of mine. I found her to be genuine, kind, and humorous. More importantly she cared about people, all people, whether or not she met them. Her presence will be sorely missed.
We share in your sorrow at the loss of your loved one. It is difficult to endure both the pain and the sadness of her passing, but her strength and courage were her message that you will also have the strength to continue. God is strength in troubled times. We love you all, and will help where needed.
Sending my sincere condolences to Annette's family at this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Annette's family, friends, and loved ones. I had the pleasure of meeting Annette 7 years ago, and I truly liked her very much. She was one of the funniest, most genuine people I have ever met. Although I lost contact with her over the years due to her being ill, I wondered about her constantly. My wondering is over now. Annette, rest in peace, and know that your passing will leave a very big void in the hearts and lives of those who knew and loved you. Rest in peace my beautiful friend.
