Gary and Family,
I have so many fond memories of growing up with Janet. We lived but a stones throw away from one another. Many countless hours were spent camping with her and the entire family as well as just “hanging out” throughout our school years. I was saddened to read of her passing. It brought all those wonderful memories flooding back. Bless each and everyone of you.

Gary and family: so sorry to hear of Jan's passing. Was so shocked since I just got her email about being hospitalized.
