My dear old friend Annette, may you rest in peace. I haven’t seen you in so long, but am thankful for our childhood memories and for re-connected on Facebook. I can’t hear Over the Rainbow without thinking of you. For my money, your version was better than Judy Garland’s. I remember your singing happy birthday to me a couple of years ago. That made my day. I will miss you. May God be with you and bring comfort to your family.
Annette, I am saddened to hear of your passing. To your family you are a beloved Mom, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother. To me you are an age old friend from many years ago working at the wheeling post office. I know you are a woman of faith and I know you are now in your other worldly paradise. Rest easy my sweet friend.
Annette–truly a sweet soul from the Leyden neighborhood! You have moved on to your second life of endless joy, and we your loving friends will treasure your memory. You left the world a better place. The song I will always remember is your rendition of O Holy Night–an angel could not have sung it more tenderly. Rest well and thank you for your steadfast friendship all these years.
Annette Dear childhood friend who lived on Atlantic. I was so sorry to hear this. Dear friend I will miss you. Loved all the time we were together growing up, running, playing with dolls, just walking. You were always there. You were amazing. So gentle and caring. Love you dear friend. Miss ya. You left to early, you were so young. You are with Aunt Jean and Uncle John.
Love
Diane Sparacio Thomas

There are many greatful words to describe Annette… an amazing mother , grandmother and friend. Kind and helpful she always asked if you were ok … She put everyone and everything before her. She was so selfless and gave so much love to everyone. You would see her at the store and she gave u her time to check on you even if she wasn’t ok. Annette’s beautiful smile and presence will be missed but not forgotten. Thank u for everything beautiful Annette and may you rise up to heaven in peace.
