Bio

Leaving home at 15 was a tough choice, but Annette did exactly that. She taught herself how to be a ‘grown up’ as best she could, making mistakes along the way. At 20 she found herself pregnant and in a relationship with a man who didn't love her. Their attempts at making it work were futile and they ended up divorced 5 years later, at which time she found her soulmate, Brian. With Brian they lived a life that movies are made of, full of love and laughter. They had more remarkable children and their lives were complete. However, ten years of marital bliss came to an abrupt halt when, in the middle of the night, she was awakened to the news of Brian’s plane crashing while he was extinguishing forest fires. With her world crashing down with his, she managed to find the faith to overcome. With heavenly intervention she was married six months later to a man she barely knew. Miraculously now, married to Kevin, they live a new chapter of love, and laughter. Her story is truly a story of hope, a story of resilience, a story of miracles. Annette demonstrates that our lives can be more than we ever expect they can be if we just trust and move forward in faith.
