To all that knew Annette she touched your soul in some way , rather that be a fond memory ,catch phrase, recipe, or just a lending ear. There will never be words to express how amazing she was and continues to be.  She had a wonderful talent of drawing and painting that were passed on to her children and grandchildren without pause.  Annette worked very diligently to obtain her certification as a Veterinary Technician to which she accomplished with such pride. . Annette was a simple woman, whom never asked for very much out life.  Our hearts are broken and a large piece will forever be missing.  Services will be at the convenience of the family.  In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Animal Care Council  of Broome County.  

I'm Still Here:

I may be gone but please don't cry

Death is not the last goodbye

Death releases me of my pain

Here will come a day we will meet again

Don't be blue and don't be sad 

Think back to the times we had 

I am always here I hear you speak

In time of trouble it's me you seek 

You don't see me but I see you 

I will do my best to pull you through 

Speak to me and I will hear 

Never far I am always near 

Be brave my love do not cry 

See you again it’s not goodbye
