Janet,
As children we grew up together. I have many memories of sleep overs, swimming in your pool, riding in your moms station wagon, ice skating on the pond and slay riding on the volkswagon hood down the hill in the back. We all knew it was time for dinner when we heard the bell ring and your moms voice...JIMMY, JOEY, JANET, ROSIE AND ROOOOOOY! When we got older our lives seldom crossed paths but you will always be remembered....my cousin and I love you.
Give your mom and my brother a big hug for me.
