My sincerest sympathies to you, Diane and Debbie, and all who loved your mother on the loss of her here. I remember how joyous your mother was, and how she would sing all the time around the house. She had a beautiful voice and I imagine sang great lullibies to her grand and great-grand children.

I'm so sorry to hear the news, Debbie and Diane. Mom only just mentioned your mother's passing.
Mrs. Grow was always so kind to me, just a kid from across the street. I remember her moderating a spelling bee with us once--worcestershire stumped us all. She put up with us jumping on her bed, and she introduced me to Elvis's music.
I hope all is well with you both, and that your grief eases soon.

Many years ago I was in a band with Janice. I remember her as always a very happy person and pleasant to be around. She was a talented singer. May she continue to sing in Heaven.
