What can I say about Annette?  I met her when she first opened her store in Shockoe Slip & remained a friend/customer ever since.  Annette changed the look of Richmond with her great style, charm & great sense of humor.  I worked for her on occasion & enjoyed every moment of it.  She is a strong woman, loved by thousands, I consider her a friend, & my heart is broken. Goodbye, dear friend.
