I am going to miss her. We started out as Best Friends but God said let’s make her family. I not only had the honor of being her friend but we became sisters. She was my person. I could always go to her for an ear to listen or sweet sisterly advice and she never judged me. A bond like that is rare. God truly blessed me when he put her in my life. I LOVE you sweet sister. I WILL see you again in paradise.
You will forever be loved and missed
I have known Annette for many years. Always had a smile and a joy to be around. We hadn’t seen each other in a while. We did keep in contact with each other. She use to cut my hair way back. I’m going to miss her so much. Love you sweet lady. You will forever be missed by many.
Annette was such a good hearted person, I know her siblings are grieving terrible as well as Jeff and their children / Grandchildren. My deepest sympathy for her family.May she rest in peace forever. ♥ ♥ ♥
I’m shocked and very sorry to hear this. We will love and miss you aunt Annette.
I will miss you always always Sissy. I know you are in a beautiful place now. You Showed so much faith and taught so many people the meaning of your faith before you went home and I will forever be proud of you for that. I will see you again soon, but I will miss you like I said, always always.
I carry you in my heart.
Prayers up for Derwayne and family. So sorry for your loss
