Annette and I were friends when she lived in Pompton Lakes, NJ and ahe was a bridesmaid in my wedding in 1979. We shared many good times and spent time at the Shore, etc. Over the years, we lost touch with each other, but I always remember Annette with a smile! My deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

My heart goes out to you Peter and your children. Annette was such a lovely person, we worked together at Union Camp and I always remember her beautiful smile and cheerful personality. She was always a breath of fresh air when she walked into a room. God is so lucky to have her. May the wonderful memories help you and your family through this sad time.

Warm regards - Susan Winter Parrish

My very first memory of going to a Birthday Party on my own was to Annette's Birthday Party ( 4/5yrs) at the wonderful, welcoming Gallo home on Pompton Ave in Pompton Lakes. The memory I have always kept of Annette's Birthday seems to encapsulate who she was and became as an Adult. Welcoming, Fun, Loving, Giving.

I was so sorry to hear of Annette's passing at this morning's mass at St. Mary's. Mrs. Gallo - please know I am thinking of you. To Annette's husband, children, brothers and friends please know you have my sympathy and today I am thinking of this dear person in your lives with the same memories from 55 years ago- welcoming, fun, giving & loving.

I am so sorry to hear about Annette's passing. She was an amazing Barre instructor and was a true light to all she taught. She had a way to make you feel you were always at your best even when struggling to get through her tough classes. She was incredibly thoughtful to her students and I know how much she loved her family. She will be missed by all that had the pleasure to know her. God Bless.

Annette was my barre instructor and she was the reason I loved going every Wednesday for three years. Her warmth and caring-nature were genuine and her love of life was contagious.
Sending heart-felt condolences to her entire family. She was loved by an army of people and will be missed by all.

May Annette rest in eternal peace of God.

I remember as clear as day attending my first Wyckoff Y Dance Performance. Walked into a large auditorium feeling slightly nervous; thankfully sat next to Annette. She was so welcoming, engaging and gracious. Nothing changed over the years of having the pleasure to know Annette.

My heart goes out to family, may all the wonderful memories get you through difficult times. Deepest condolences.

God Bless,

Karen

I wanted to send a quick note to let you all know how much Annette meant to me and how much she will be missed by her barre family. Not matter the day, she always had the best contagious bright energy in class, and I always left her classes feeling better. Annette also felt like a barre mom to me - she thoughtfully reached out to me after I had babies, during the pandemic and on holidays. It meant so much to have someone looking out for me as my family doesn't live close by. Sending my condolences to all who knew her bright light.

I´m so very sorry to hear about Annette´s passing. I met her through Barre Evolution and loved taking her classes. Her Jersey accent was always so comforting to me as that´s where I´m from and it reminded me of my mom´s accent. She was a very special person and will be missed greatly. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

My heart is completely broken today learning of Annette's passing. She volunteered every week in the art room at Memminger with me. Her light, her kindness, her beauty inside and out, were so amazingly special. I am so thankful to have had her in my life, and the students that she inspired and loved will always have some of that love in their hearts. Sending all my love to your family.

Peter, Taryn and Drew - Annette was truly one of the most special people to have walked on this earth. She was a tremendous mother, wife and friend. Other than her Georgia Bulldog leanings, she was just about perfect! She will forever be remembered for her always positive energy and love. She will be missed by everyone who knew her!
We are holding all of you up to our Lord in our prayers. We have no doubt that she is with the Lord today with no pain and no suffering. You will all be reunited in heaven for eternity.
We love you so much!

Dearest Rose and family,
Frank and I send our sincere and loving condolences to you and your family on the untimely passing of your daughter Annette. It is most difficult to lose a loved one and even harder to lose a child. Yet difficult to see one suffer. We are certain Annette is praying for you and her family to be strong. Annette is your personal guardian angel now who will be with you always.
May her soul be resting in peace. She fought the good fight knowing her mother and loved ones were there for her and with her.
Our love
