I'm so happy she came into my life, even for such a brief moment. I loved her calm and spirit, her gentleness. She made an impact and I miss her.

I was very sad to read this obituary of my childhood friend, "Janie". I have many memories of our early elementary days and how sad I was when she moved to Encino. What a lovely woman she was. My deepest sympathy to her husband and family.
