I went to elementary school with Janet at Levi Dickey and I was heart broken today when I heard she had passed. Janet was my first crush and she was a sweetheart even when I acted like a brat and I would pick on her at times. Today my heart aches in pain knowing I will never be able to say I am sorry for some of my behaviors in grade school. :( to her mom and dad and her husband and kids my prayers and thoughts are with you.

Emily and family:
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
Bless you all.
Each and every day, we all still grieve with you.
