    We didn’t get the pleasure of meeting your dear mother, but the personal friendship that we have with Mary and the online friendship with Julie and Jon speaks volumes of who she was. Annette raised a wonderful family. We weep with you, we pray for you snd we are here for you. Love, Mary Ann Chapman and Dave
