To Michelle and extended family!
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your Mum. I recall the fun times I had working alongside Annette, the drinks we shared together at the social club and the dancing at the Northern Tavern when I worked at Quality Bakers. May the fun memories, and the precious times you shared together give you comfort at this sad time.
Thinking of you

With love and sympathy at this very sad time for you all. I will miss my chats with Annette at the SIT Bookshop. May you have many precious memories to hold dear as you navigate the future without Annette.

From the IT team at SIT - we will miss you so much Annette! You did so much for us, and were so kind, going above and beyond in our area. IT workers are fueled by coffee and you made sure we never went without, even when we were messy and made your job harder, you quietly and kindly sorted everything out and made our lives easier. You were appreciated so much, and are very much missed.
