Jan, I don't know if you remember us, we lived next door in the 60's and early 70's and I considered your mother my best frind while we lived there. We both went to painting classes together and critiqued each others paintings. I know you will miss her and I just wanted to let you know that we thought she was a wonderful person and you're in our prayers. Dorothy & Carl Imhauser
