Annette, you were my best friend at high school, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Annette may have been a sister-in-law-law but she a dear friend too.

We often shared laughter that echoed long after our wine fuelled visits ended, we created memories that shine brightly in my mind, and formed a bond that transcended both distance and time.

your friendship was a gift I’ll forever hold dear.

Distance never dimmed our connection. No matter how far apart we lived, I always thought of you from time to time. Though you are no longer with us, the joy you brought lives on. I will always think of you with a heart full of gratitude for the beautiful friendship we shared and the wonderful person you were.

Forever in my thoughts, forever my sister, forever my friend.

I met Annette in 1971, when we both worked at the Mildura Base Hospital, when the hospital was in 13 th st. We went to Sydney together. We had lots of fun together, we lost touch for a frew years but with new technology we found each other and kept in touch regularly and chattered on the phone. We saw each other again 3 years ago when Annette was in the RMH, it was 43yrs since we had actually seen each other, we both reckoned neither had changes much! We talked for ages, nothing had changed. Annette was a very caring friend, good for a laugh and a word of comfort or advise. Annette was so proud of her 2 girls, and over the moon about her grand kids.
True friends are like diamonds precious and rare, faults, friends are like autumn leaves found every where. Annette was a diamond to many.
I believe I was the last person to talk to her, I pray
she found comfort in our last brief chat.
May she rest in peace, pain free and with her dearly beloved parents. I will miss our chats.🩷

There are special people in our lives who never leave us even after they are gone.
Dearest Annette, you are one of these people.
We grew up together and you were like a big sister to me.
Your kindness and compassion will live on in your daughters and grandchildren. You have left an amazing legacy and will be fondly remembered and deeply missed.
Your struggles with your health over these last few years are finally over.
In memory of a life filled with love and laughter.
To Sarah, Jacqui and families, we are so sorry for your loss.
Love Bev and Doug Matthews.

This day is remembered and quietly kept.
No words are needed
I shall never forget
Dearly loved niece of Alf (dec) and Pat Sylvia.
My thoughts are with Jacqui and Benny, Sarah and Shane, Rose, Beau, Mia, Callum and Ryder

I have fond memories of working with Annette at Madec. She had a cheeky smile that lit up the room and some funny stories of her nursing days.
Condolences to her gorgeous girls and families.

So saddened to hear this
My sincere condolences to her children and family.
Taken too soon
Thinking of you all

Sending condonlences to all families, such sad news of a loving person who always had a smile on her face.
May fond memories stay with you all and hoping you all keep strong through this difficult time.
Much love Maria&Sam..

Some people come into your life for a short time and some come for a long time becoming part of your family. Annette and I were friends for 40 years. We saw each other through good times and challenging times.
Annette was a person who had empathy and caring for others. Even during her many hospital stays when she was in a public room she would ring for the nurse or get out of bed to help anyone In distress regardless of her own I’ll health.
In our fifties we let our hair down with get togethers and parties. I’m glad we did as we have so many photos of Annette with a big beautiful smile that we can look back on and remember her sense of fun.
One of the many things I will remember is that when anyone said to Annette “I love you” she would always she “I love you more”. That was non debatable.
Annette was My sister from another Mother . Godmother to my eldest daughter and like an aunt to all my children.
I Love You Annette, i will miss you I do Miss You
You will always be in our hearts and minds, thoughts and memories, until we meet again xxx

Dear Annette,
it’s hard to describe what you mean to me. I’ve know you for almost my whole life. You went from being my best childhood friend’s mum, to my godmum then to a very special friend in my adult life who I loved and love very much.
Even though you have been unwell for sometime it was still such a shock when I received the sad news of your passing. I though we would have time for another visit, another coffee and chat and another one of your beautiful hugs 🤗
I miss you Annette and I feel so much for Jacqui, Sarah and their families.
Love always Clare ❤️
