Nicole Stuart Instagram – Why is saying good-bye so hard… My mom lost her best friend last night…. Losing Annette Tucker, my mom’s best friend, leaves a void that’s hard to put into words. She was tough, loving, and endlessly loyal. I’m grateful for every moment and the incredible friendship I learned from her.
From the moment my mom and Annette met at Macy’s in the early ’90s, they were inseparable. They turned a circle of friends into family and even nicknamed their crew “SexLESS and the City.” Their stories and laughter filled our days with light.
What I learned from their bond: true female friendship is never competitive, always lifting each other up, and endlessly generous. They inspired me to be my best, often believing in me more than I believed in myself.
Annette and my mom talked almost every hour. Her kind notes cheered me on in every dream. I miss her already. Keaton, Matthew, and I carry her spirit with us, hoping her legacy of true friendship lives on.
Annette May Tucker is also remembered as an American songwriter who found success in the 1960s, co-writing songs for The Electric Prunes (“I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)”, “Get Me to the World on Time”), The Brogues (“I Ain’t No Miracle Worker”), The Knickerbockers (“A Coming Generation”), Nancy and Frank Sinatra (“Feelin’ Kinda Sunday”), and more.
Sending so much love to you, Annette—you will forever be a guiding light.
With love,
