Annette had a beautiful smile and u could kinda see a sparkle in her eyes when she smiled and she had a cute giggle ! Les and I had some good and fun times visiting with her and Scott when our kids were young ! I would always tell him I wish we could have spent more time together with those two! I wish we could of been there at this difficult time but we’re sending our deepest sympathy and love and prayers to the family
I’m so sad to see this! I can’t believe she was in remission when I worked with her, but she didn’t seem sick at all. I wish Dawn would have told me this when I seen her. Hugs to her family and gods blessings.
