My sincere condolences for this loss for all of us to various degrees. I feel fortunate to have finally met Annet in person late last year and grateful for Aaron and her welcoming me to their home for a visit. A home clearly a reflection of the positive spirit and energy I’ve come to know over the years through Aaron. May her presence continue to be felt and inspire others going forward. One that helps anyone get going!

Thank you Annet!

Dear Aaron, Angelo and Aidan. Dear family and friends.

Today we say goodbye to a very special person – our beloved older sister Annele, as our mother and us siblings sometimes called her.

In our grief for our sister, love and loss mingle with memories and tears.

It breaks our heart that we will never again share the joy of laughing with our sister.

The connection to our sister Annet is everlasting, even after her passing.

Dear Annet, you are gone, but you remain. In us. In everything you gave.

Rest in peace.

With love, your siblings Nadine, Marcus & Michael

I was 12 years old when my brother and I signed with Annet in 2008. From childhood to teenager, young adult, to a grown man. Annet is all I’ve ever known. Thank you for believing in me for so long. You are already missed.

Forever in my heart

Annet was an amazing person, I was so captivated by her when we first met. When you choose a manager for your children, their knowledge of the industry is not enough, you are trusting someone to basically coparent with you. Like a pediatrician, Annet had the gift to bond with the both the  parent and the child. Annet was not only knowledgeable but caring, trusting, she listened,  and she mentored, and as Larry said, even to adulthood.  Annet was part of our family, her memories and wisdom will continue to live through us.

  Annette was not just a colleague, but a friend. She worked hard, cared deeply, and poured her heart into her family, friends, and clients. I was shocked when I heard the news. Reading the beautiful tributes shared about her only affirms what we already knew—Annette was a doer. She showed up, got involved, and gave her care freely to who needed it.

Her passing is a powerful reminder to make the most of every day—to stop making excuses, and instead, strive to make a difference. Annette has left behind a lasting legacy, especially in her two beautiful sons.

Let us continue to honor and celebrate a life so fully and generously lived.

Goodbye, friend. You will be missed

Those we love remain with us

for love itself lives on,

and cherished memories never fade

because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never

be more than a thought apart,

far as long as there is memory,

they’ll live on in the heart.

Dear Aaron, 

We're wishing you and your family courage and peace during this time of mourning.

We´re missing Annet dearly and thinking about all the wonderful times we shared with her.

with love and support from Germany.
