    Annette was a wonderful person, always had a beautiful smile and a sweet attitude. I have always loved her so much. I know that Annette is with her mom, dad and her beloved Bruce. I pray for Steven and Scott after the loss of Bruce and Annette but I know that she is in the arms of Jesus.

    Annett was my friend and classmate all through school. Her smile would light up a room. She was always a pleasure to be around. She and her husband Bruce opened their house to her classmates for "mini-reunions" that many of us enjoyed. I'll miss her greatly but I know she is well taken care of as she deserves to be.

    I grew up with Annett, being her classmate in Monticello as well as attending the same church during our childhood. She was always kind and considerate of others. My prayers and thoughts to the family.

    I pray for God's peace and comfort that only HE can give at this time of sorrow. I came to know Annett and Bruce while living in Monticello and found them to be wonderful Christian people who always tried to give more than they got. They went above and beyond in their business and in their friendships and love of people. God Bless the family, Carole Rushing

    I am so sorry to hear about Annett. I went to Church there at First Assembly with her when we were young girls.
    Later I met up with she and Bruce out in El Paso, Tx. since we were stationed there also at the time.
    She was so fun loving. I will always remember her laughter. My husband and I visited she and Bruce once there in Monticello in their beautiful Home...
    Love to family members-I cherish the Childhood Friendship.
