Aunt Janie was one of the sweetest souls I´ve known. She had such a funny, playful spirit and always found a way to make people smile. I´ll forever remember her silliness, her kindness, and her loving threats of "boxing our ears off" when we misbehaved. She brought so much light into our lives and will be deeply missed. We love you always and forever!
