We would like to meet at the hut on dunwich beach. We will have little, bamboo, bio degradable boats and markers. Our thought had been that people could write a little message on the boat as they arrive, or if we see you before the day we can give you your boat ahead of time. A few family members may share a memory or say a few words then we will play a song or two as we release the boats. I don't think there will be good enough signal to have a video link to this, however posting the date and time for people allows her friends from all over the world the opportunity to be do something at the same day/time so we can all feel connected on celebrating her

I am yet to meet someone who knew Mum and was not positively impacted by knowing her. She was the example to which we should all continue to reach for.

We became good friends, as did our children, and after we left Malaysia we kept in touch, albeit from opposite sides of the world. She stayed with me a couple of times when she came to Australia, and I stayed with her when I was in the UK. Even when we hadn’t seen each other for a while, we could always catch up just where we left off. Annette was so helpful and supportive when I was going through some tough times, and so strong and resilient when she was going through her own difficulties. Although I haven’t seen her recently, I will miss knowing that she is there, and I will always remember her for her friendship, her humour and her wisdom.
Much love to all the family. less
Annette was one of the most forgiving and understanding person I have met. She always seem to look for the best in anyone. She always welcomed anyone to her home no matter who they are. My most fondest memory of her was when she told me some hard truths... moreAnnette was one of the most forgiving and understanding person I have met. She always seem to look for the best in anyone. She always welcomed anyone to her home no matter who they are. My most fondest memory of her was when she told me some hard truths but not in a bad way. She let's you down gently so you can get on with life. As far as I remembered, she always put everyone else first before herself so i would assume she will want every to celebrate her life and not be upset she has departed.
