    I’m always blessed by your blessings :) . I love the picture of you and your mom–and the one of her later. A beautiful lady.

      Laura,
      Thank you so much. Yes my mom was a great lady – 94 years old when she died last year. Sweet to the very end to everyone she met. Remembered every name of the people who cared for her. I cherish that picture of me when I was little with her. There are not too many pictures back then.
      Blessings,
      Janis

      Hey Lynne,
      So good to have you comment. Thank you. Yes I found that picture on my computer. It is from the book we gave Mom on her 90th birthday. I will have to take a look and see if I can see Sheryl. Miss you, too.
      Blessings,
