Uncle Al, Anita, Cheryl, Judy, and Nancy

I know how hard it is right now. My thoughts and prays will be with you this week. My dad loved your mom so and when she came down and spent time with him that was one of his greatest memories.

Love, Jay

Anita, Cheryl, I am so sorry. I will always remember your mom as my first mentor when I worked at the Modern Laundry. She was a wonderful person.

I am so sorry to learn of Janet's passing. We had so many years as friends and then as it sometimes happens we go separate ways.......I am so glad that I went to see her a couple months ago and also saw you girls as well except for Anita. I know Al will be a lost soul. I am sorry I won't be able to come on Sat. as I try not to do much nite driving unless it is around the area. Please except my condolences ad a HUG for each of you including your Dad. She will be sadly missed as she was a great and funny and kind person. Lioz Birch
