Mary Beth did a lot of her bear shows as I recall. I wasn't watching QVC when she sold perfume and had no idea Kendy used to be there. That's interesting.

Annette was a great lady, and brave. She sold bears, and boy do I have them! None of them are worth what I paid, but I do love them. Love my Bobby Bear, LOL!

What a battle she fought, and was so dog-gone sweet. She stayed out the public eye for over 10 years, but she was dearly loved

She also did a line of bears with Marie Osmond's dolls; the bears were the dolls' toys.

I have two Annette critters. One is a plush bear dressed as Annette in "The Mickey Mouse Club," very cute, about 12 inches. She is packed away for when my siblings start to have grandkids.

The other is a mohair pink poodle, probably from the era of the beanie bears, as it is flexible as they were/are. The pink poodle is still my computer mascot.

I really enjoyed her bear shows and as my nieces and nephews were little then, I gave some as Christmas gifts. The quality was exceptional and the prices were very reasonable. She put a lot of thought into the design of the bears.

She bore with her illness so gallantly.

It's hard to believe Annette has been gone for two years. She was personally picked by Walt Disney for the Mickey Mouse Club. She was a class act!

Some people certainly have a hard time letting go after a death.

I like to remember and praise following a death.

Wednesday was the 2nd anniversary of Annette's passing. Just sharing memories.
