Ron and family, We extend our sympathy to you in the loss of wife, mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother. We have spent many years together (since1965) visiting as families, watching our kids grow up, and as couples celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and just visiting with each other. We will miss Annette just as you all will. May our God comfort all of you in the days and years ahead.
