Karen and Family,
I want to tell you how so very sorry I was to read of the loss of your mother. My father, Chuck Brann worked with Janice for many years at Elmira Quality Printers. My father always spoke of the great lady Janice was and the wonderful working relationship they had. After the passing of my father (1994) I kept in touch with Janice through the years. I always enjoyed our lunch dates. She was a special friend to the entire Brann family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
