Annette you popped into my mind today, it’s hard to believe you’re nit here! But the memories I have are wicked and wonderful, what laughter and adventures we had. The Vic pub to the Beehive, dancing and laughing our days away 🥰🥲then our children arrived and we still have great memories. Miss knowing your nit around the corner anymore. 🙏

As a childhood friend of Maggie's, I had the pleasure of coming to know Annette. Alhough I haven't actually seen Annette for some years, my memories of her bustling about the kitchen as she prepared us a huge feast each time I came to visit is still so fresh and vivid. She couldn't do enough for me and Maggie those weekends. You would never meet another mum who went more out of her way to look after you. Annette always gave so much care and attention to us and she was genuinely interested in me, always asking lots of questions and wanting to know what was going on in my life. We three, spent hours sat around the kitchen table, exchanging stories, where Annette was always so quick to laugh her distinctive husky laugh (usually followed by a bout of coughing!). She was so much fun, always had something squirreled away in the back of the cupboard for us, with eyes full of mischief. Over the years we would catch up on the phone and the first thing she'd ask me was 'What colour is your hair now?' - a nod to the many colourful styles Maggie and I donned in our teens. I'm so sad that she's been taken from us so early and I'm so sorry for John, Maggie and Charles. I feel very fortunate to have had the pleasure of knowing her in life and will never forget her warm and kind spirit.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Annette. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
