Thank you to the Janowski Family, especially Andy & Tillie, for looking after the "kid across the street", and taking me into your home like I was your own. Andy would "hide my nose" and yell at the parrot. Tillie was always ready with a snack, or a drink, or a hug. You were there when a little guy really needed a place. Thank you.

Mailman Andy as I used to call him when i was a little girl on Offer street. He will Certainly be missed. He was the kindest person I knew and always encouraging and yes he whistled while he worked that is how I knew he was bringing our mail.I would put packages just for him. Every holiday and just because. I will be praying for all of you.
