Hello, My name is Kathy Wyss.I lived next door to Lee, Frances and Janice. Janice was a good friend and she taught me to read! I remember what good parents Frances and Lee were to Janice-I loved being at their house. I also remember their dog 'Wee Fella' a little chihuahua. If one of Janice's children or grandchildren read this-please email me. I think of her all the time.
