I will miss Annette greatly. Growing up, I was very inspired by how artistic she was and always enjoyed seeing her shows. I always seemed to run into her around town either walking the trails or at any random event. We had countless memories together and I will miss her so much.

I did not know Annette well, but met her through classes at the Lynchburg Art Club. Our first conversation was about sharing Owen as her son and my late husband’s name. In my brief experience with her I found that she was kind, welcoming and generous of spirit. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.
