nana was one of the sweetest people you’d ever meet, and always seemed to wanna help everyone; she knew how to light up a room 🩵✨ one of my favorite memories of us will always be our countless smiles during our many manyyy games of candyland, she always loved to and i miss seeing her smile. 🍬 ((candyland reminders always make me tear up… ))
My heart goes out to all my sisters family. My nieces n nephews, my brother in law. To everyone that knew Janet
Learned too late about my little sister….so wished I could of met her
Janet and I were close cousins growing up. We enjoyed being with each other and shared a study hall in high school, we were supposed to be studying but would spend the time talking. Once she moved from GI we didn’t see each other often and our families grew. Thanks to Skip, as their family would make the long trip to NE every other year. Many great memories over the years. The last 10years have been a struggle as I have not kept in contact.
My prayers and thoughts are with you Skip, Jon, Amy, Kyle and Caren and your families, Vera
