I have great memories of Janet more of grade school and Jr high. I remember her smile and can remember her voice and giggles. I'm so sorry for your loss.

To only share one memory of a momma I've loved for 43 years is hard, but I am trying to think of the positive moments... Which one of the most recent comes to mind... Our day out, after chemo treatment, we decided to go shopping.... And if you really knew mom, you know the term "shop till you drop" is a true term with her... I was moving into my own place, and needed some things... So I had a few places I wanted to go to look for those items... She wanted to go as well, so we went....
Meijer, Walmart, the mall, Lowe's, 3 dollar general stores, a couple 2nd hand stores, 3 stops at gas stations, subway.... I was absolutely EXHAUSTED by time we left the 3rd store... But she wasn't done just yet.. she had a few things on her mind she wanted to get and of course she had different places to get each thing... Even though she was extremely excited, and having a hard time getting around, she was filled with determination... A smile ear to ear, and as happy as a clam... Everyone that would ask "Hi, How are you today, did you find everything you were looking for?" She would smile her big smile, and say "I'm great, and I found extra".... As she looked back at me with a look (of don't you dare say anything), and smile! It was all n all a great day...
Today I'd give anything for just one more day of shopping, to see her fully enjoying life and her excitement in knowing how excited the kids would be to see their new gifts from Grandma... I'd give anything for one more anything with Mom...
Love aunt Jay. You always smile and gave me a tight hug and kiss. Your smile would light the room with joy. Just as my moms would. Give mamma and all the family lots of hugs from me. Love you
