Jerry, Paul and Lee-Ellen, please accept my deepest condolences on Annettes passing. I have such joyful childhood memories of playing all day (every day!) at your house and Annette was part and parcel of that joy. She was so smart, so fun, so funny. She fed us and made us think and (at times) made us behave. She was one of the most generous souls Ive ever known. She was one of a kind and I am so grateful to have known her and all of you. Much love, Sara (Groh) Silva

Dear Jerry, I am so sorry to hear that your wife and the inspiration of our Parkinson's group is gone. She was truly a source of delight and joy with her colorful outfits and impish smile. As Sophie says, every time we have a Delta pie day we will toast her (and Boris)and remember her and your spunk and companionship. Love, Dave Geilen
