Annette Holiday, what a beautiful woman (inside & out)! She was a strong woman who loved her family friends. I will never forget her & how she accepted me into her family almost immediately!
I love her - her physical body is no longer here for God called her home! I know she is rejoicing in the arms of our Lord of whom her faith never faltered.
She will live forever in my heart & all who love her.

I had the honor to visit with Annette at the end of September. It had been 25 years since I had seen her. She was and will always be my favorite supervisor while working at the USPS in Chattanooga.

A dear sweet friend and sister-in-Christ was Annette to me. Such an inspiration and a shining light for Jesus. She always had a positive attitude. And was ever ready to help anyone who had a need. Such a wise and witty friend she was. It hurt me to know how sick she was at the last. Even then her voice stayed soft and tender and nurturing towards those she loved. I am so blessed to have been one of those.
Thank The LORD that He´s allowed her to sleep now till He comes in the clouds of Heaven to bring us all home together at once. Soon and VERY SOON Jesus will come!! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
