I am so sorry to her of her passing. She was our families travel agent for decades. She gave the same attention to detail whether we were taking a European tour or a rural trip down Route 66. She was beyond honest often finding cheaper accommodations for us. I will raise a glass to her memory on all future trips

We were so sorry to learn of Annette’s passing. Annette was my student teacher, babysitter of my children, and our family’s travel agent. She was a great kid and later became a good friend. She will be missed. Kathy DeMeo and family (Don Sr, Teresa, Donald, Ed)

I am so sorry to hear of Annette's passing. She was more than a travel agent; she was a friend.
I travelled a lot when I was younger and Annette was always there to solve problems, make bookings, or just listen to my woes. When my traveling companion had her wallet stolen in Dublin, I called Annette and she changed bookings and gave us the support we needed.
She was always smiling and ready to chat. I will not forget her.

My husband and I are so so saddened to hear of Annette’s passing. We had the pleasure of knowing her over the past few years or so as she lives in the same neighborhood as my parents ( Dineen and Don ). Annette most recently planned our honeymoon to Italy in November. It was a dream vacation that we will cherish close to our hearts and she was wonderful at her job.
Annette was an incredibly kind , warm and special person. She always lived her life to the fullest and She was a truly inspiring person.
We are so deeply sorry to Annette’s family and friends for their immense loss. We are sending you love , prayers and healing energy during this difficult time.

I have known the Largo sisters since grade school. While visiting their home one afternoon, I said,”What smells so good?” It was Lena preparing eggplant . It was my first time enjoying eggplant! Til this day every time I have eggplant I think of the Largo family with fondness and gratitude. I regret that I couldn’t tell Annette in person. My deepest condolences to the entire Largo family.

Annette always brought light into the room with her laughter, smile, and stories. Her love for family, friends, and travel allowed both her and others around her to enjoy life to the fullest. My wife and I knew Annette as family, but she also helped us plan some of our most memorable vacations. I can't wait to one day return to Italy to celebrate the places she influenced us to go to and that she always enjoyed herself throughout the years.
