Beth,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. May you and your family find peace and love in the memories you cherish of your mom. My thoughts are with you!
Although I did not get to see her often, I will surely miss her. I have such great memories of all the times we did get to visit. Love to all the family.
RIP Aunt Janet.
I echo Karen’s statement above — we did not see Aunt Janet and her family in New Orleans all that often. But I only have good memories of those times she and her family were in town for a visit. I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences. My thoughts and prayers coupled with good memories as well as good hopes for times ahead go out to all of the Newitt cousins as well as to Uncle Jack.
RIP Aunt Janet
