Annette Funicello receives Golden Teddy Award 1996

[@joyceyolandastorch8964]

Not many people have the spunk and ambition to help others when they are so sick themselves as Annette did. That just shows you what a good and unselfish person Annette was. Its fortunate that this man Glen was so supportive of everything in Annette 's life. She brings back memories of my mom who was a young ballet dancer who opened her own dance school later on and loved doing choreography for shows, always by my side with my show business career..My mom was very unselfish like Annette, and suddenly at 56 was stricken with a terrible disease that left her neurolgically brain impaired. I see a similarity in personality traits and as good a person as i may be , i dont know if i could be the type of person Annette and my mom were. Thats something so special. I hope her soul is resting peacefully in heaven , and my mom as well.

So happy to see that Annette received this recognition during her final years. (And at the very end of the footage, another sweetheart, Marie Osmond!)

I watch'ed the Mickey mouse club everyday when I came home from school everyday. She will be miss'ed very much, but she will live on in the heart's of those who knew her & love'ed her. Annette will always be remember'ed for years to come. My 1 wish is that I hope & pray that Annette knew & excepted the. Lord before she died, ( I am sure she did before she died.) Annette, will be miss'ed by everyone that knew her.

PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS IN A NEGATIVE WAY In spite of the sickness' wrath,MS has been a good friend for making lives not end too soon. At least you could still feel the love,so your more prepared in letting go.
