She was the best aunt anyone could ask for.. always thinking of others, sending holiday or birthday cards to everyone. When I was a little girl I've always remembered missing her when she would leave... They lived in England for quite some time and I really hated it because I couldn't see her all the time . I love you Aunt Janet. Give lots of hugs to mamaw and papaw.. Jeff too.Rest in heaven.
