She donated the portraits to the Salisbury Fire Department. The unveiling was held at the main fire station on E.

Annette created the photo collages on which the compositions of the oil portraits were based. She provided large printouts of these images to the Salisbury Fire Department, which had them framed and then presented them to the families prior to the two men's funerals in March 2008. Annette is donating the online versions to anyone who wishes to display them online or print them. The only restriction is that they cannot be used for commercial purposes (if a written release is required in order to have prints made, contact Annette). High resolution .jpg files are available at these two links:
