This is my Aunt Janice. My dads, Keith´s, older sister. She is a one of a kind woman - much like my grandmother (her mom) and all of my dads siblings. I have many memories of her from childhood. How she made paper dolls with me, how elegant her house was, her ability to sew almost anything but what sticks with me is her elaborate curtains and drapes, her delicious home cooking and baked goods. But mostly - HER SMILE - and her distinct laugh. She lit up a room. I was in awe of her.
I´m sorry I can´t be there today - but I am thinking of all of you and sending all my love and laughter.
Until we meet again, may you Rest In Peace and joy, you lovely human. and if you´re looking down with Grandma, Grandpa, your sisters and your brother. Try not to look my direction. I still need a lot of work
