Janie was my mentor in so many ways. Cooking, sewing, kids, husbands and many, many other ways. We shared so many thing, and had so much fun living on the hill. When we moved I realized other neighborhoods were’nt like the hill. I missed it and especially my neighbors.
Janie was special and I will never know another one like her.
Don and I are doing as well as we can. I have trouble walking and have to use my rollator to go places, It seems like George, Don and me are all that is left from the hill, Oh well that’s life and you take one day at a time.
Loved you kids ans hope life goes well for all of you. Our family is all well and got our first Great Granddaughteer this year. God Bless Suzie and Don
