To Noana, Bird and Family,

OH what a time, OH WHAT A TIME Janet and I had at Concord Day Care Center! When you say the name "Janet Segree" the first thing that should pop up in your head is that beautiful smile and her love for butterflies. I don't know what I am going to do now the day after Thanksgiving because every year faithfully I would receive my FIRST holiday Christmas card from Janet! Janet will be greatly missed. She is in a better place now and my prayers are with the family.
