Oh Jan Blanc I only knew you for one month but will never forget how kind you were to me! I cleaned this beautiful lady's home at my new job! She just gave me a training lesson on how she liked her bed made! Also talked about the old Kroger at Meadows Shopping Center and found out she knew my Cousin's husband who was the Manager there for years Thatcher Gaither! Truly a small world which will not be the same now without you! Rest in Peace until we meet again! I am so saddened that I did not know the last time we talked would be the last time I saw you! Love your Housekeeper Stella! I miss you and truly loved you!
