Sending our most sincere sympathy to all the family. We just heard now of Janet’s passing. She was a first cousin of my father, George Argubright. I know she will be truly missed because that is the kind of person she was. My best memory is her birthday party at the Oglesby Legion. I will keep the family in my prayers.
