My friend Annette


Annette was a co-worker of mine who passed away . She fought a long battle with cancer. Today was her Memorial service. It was a beautiful service with all of her family and friends.Annette was 48 years young leaving her husband and 2 children.{ Middle school and high school ages} This for me was really hard!Annette did not ever worry about herself but for her family and how this will effect them.It really makes you think how precious our life is and real eye opener on how we should live every day as though it was our last.This was a quote on the back of her sympathy card by Ralph Waldo Emerson."It is not the length of life,but the depth of life."I love that! Also Annette wrote these words before she passed"Remember me with joy and laughter for that is how I will remember you."It was a very sad day but I know Annette is peaceful now.
