Lawrence and family We are so deeply saddened to hear of your sister and Aunts death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time. God Bless you.
Ron & Family, I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Annette’s passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy goes to all. Rosemary, I know you will miss your sister, so sorry for you. We had young memories of Elberon and fun times working in the corn fields with Annette. She was always full of fun. My thoughts are with you all.
very sorry, my memories of annette are good ones
I worked with Annette for years at All Saints School in the lunch program and enjoyed all the extra things we were able to do for the children. She was a very energetic person and I learned that she also rode in ragbrai. She is going to be greatly missed by so many!!!
Ron & family,
So sorry for your loss. Annette was such a wonderful person. I am a cashier at Hy Vee where she shopped and had gotten to know her very well in the last 19 years. Always had a smile and loved to talk about her family and her “kids” from school. She touched a lot of lives and we are all made for the better by having her in our lives. I will really miss her.
RIP My Friend
Rest in peace Annette. Sincere sympathy to her family. Annette worked at my children’s school, and was always a kind and happy person. She loved the children there. May God bring you all peace in your grief.
We were so sorry to hear about Mrs. Henry. As former students at All Saints, our boys remember her as kind and caring. Please know that Mrs. Henry and her family are in our prayers.
I was very sorry to learn of Annette’s death. Unfortunately I did not learn of it until June 7, being out of the country. We worked together many years in the Engineering lab. at Turner Microphone and became close friends — she was a very likeable person. I regret having “lost touch” with her for many years.
Sorry to hear about Annette. She did microphone testing in the engineering lab for many years mainly on the Model 500 which was my first project at Turner. I’m happy she and Ron had 40 years together.
