Our entire family sends condolences to all of you for the loss of your mother. Our families had so many hours of interaction. Some sad; but mostly very happy. Hunter Avenue was never the same after you moved away. The happy times are what we all need to remember. She is free of pain and Mom is now with Dad and Tommy (what great company). Sorry we can’t be there with you to offer some comfort; but know we all care.. The Janz Family

God Bless You All.
