Hello to everyone. I still miss Janet. Her saying "How are ya?" when I go outside. I think of her every New Year's Eve when we sometimes would get Chinese food and not stay up for the new year. She was my friend and I miss her. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Janet!

My heart goes out to Janet's family. I already miss her so much. Watching her water her flowers, our talks in her screened patio.

Barry - so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I have a lot of memories of the Norwood O'Briens. My grandmother lived a few houses down. I also remember her from Holyoke High School. You couldn't get much by her - great woman - great family. Lot to be proud of.

I think we all learned to swim there,diving deep when DeDe arrived to toss coins. In later years catching up with your Mom, as she sat on the front porch. It always felt like coming home to see her there. She was Mom to many, especially John whom she loved and accepted despite his...
