We remember and cherish every occasion going back to our childhood and have many photographs to look at with Annette. She was very adventurous especially when she and Bob spent time with us on Lake Winnipesawkee, those were very special times Of course Annette was a great cook and we loved driving down to Vero Beach on holidays. Then Annette and Bob settled into a summer cottage at Hampton Beach N.H. She made sure that her siblings all had turns visiting them. We miss you Annette you were a very special sister.Bob,Jeanne and Ron
