I feel so blessed to have had you in my life; only regret is that we didn't get to know each other sooner. The world is a bit darker now without you in it, but I know you are in a better place. They broke the mold when they made you! RIP, Aunt D.

Janet had such a wonderful spirit and sense of humor, I am so thankful that I ran into her and Connie a few weeks ago and got to enjoy one more visit. I know you all have so many wonderful memories of her and hopefully those will comfort you during this trying time. I'm sure Janet and Sandy are entertaining each other right now. Heaven will never be the same with those two. My thoughts are with all of you.
