Dear David, Matthew and Sarah. It is with great sadness that I have only just now learned of the sad passing of your wonderful wife and Mother
Annette. I would never forget her beautiful smile that would light up the room. This world could never be the same without her but is so much better for having her. You were always there for us during our difficult times in life and we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sending you all much Love and Peace in Jesus precious holy name.

Dearest Devine’s,
May our Lord comfort you during this difficult time.
May you all draw strength and courage from our great hope that our faith provides. Although I met Anette briefly during parent teacher interviews I remember did my having taught most of you for biology or chemistry.
Thinking of you all at this time. Many blessings Mrs Justine Iancu

Please know that we are praying for y’all. Annette made us feel so welcome at RBC. We treasure the times she spent with us around our kitchen table hearing our stories. Her laughter was infectious. The service was beautiful.
Much love, The Nakamura Family

We count it a privilege that Annette was our friend and she was so deeply interested in our lives. We will be forever grateful for the coffees, dinners and chats with her and David laughing, listening and sharing with each other with no regard for time. Our love & prayers are extended to you David (and your family) in this time of sadness and grief,. We would hope that when the time is right we can enjoy a coffee with you our good friend. All our love in these days, Tim & Sonya

A lovely service for a lovely lady. Many fond memories to treasure. I know Perlita, Leanne, Beth, Trevor, Lily and many others were there to greet Annette as she entered through the pearly gates. We don't understand God's ways or timing but have hope and trust that He knows all that is best.
May the great comforter that God is, be your ever present companion'
Much love to you all.

Dear David, Matthew, Sarah and family,

Annette has always been a bright light and a warm smile. I remember her warmth in my early days in CBC (when Matthew was only a small boy and later when Sarah was just a baby). It has been a blessing to have you and her as part of my life. She will be missed in earth, her light still shines brightly in your family and in the hearts of all she touched. My deepest love and sympathy. Grace

Dear David, Mathew, Sarah and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Annettes wonderful warm smile, enthusiasm and love of life . She embraced everything she attempted. Her dedication in completing her PCA and Diploma to care for the elderly and disadvantaged was a joy to be a part of. Her fine example of Godliness, generosity and kindness will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Forever with Jesus.

I am so sad to hear that Annette has passed away. Think of you all and praying that our God of all comfort will wrap you in His arms and give you peace. Sending you all my love and condolences.

As a family you have supported us in our tough times so well and without reservation, and we are truly grateful for that.
Annette's sincere concern and most wonderful hugs in those times were beyond measure.
We will remember how her presence lit up the room and that beautiful smile was so infectious and brought a warmth into any situation.
She truly lived from her heart and now lives on in eternity and in the legacy of love,joy,compassion and true Christlike love she showered on so many. Our lives are richer because she was part of them.
Our love and prayers cover you all at this difficult time. God's peace be with you.
The Carey Family.

Love from Emma & family.
