Dear Frank, Jeff & Gerald My deepest sympathy on the sudden loss of wife & mother. I was so shocked to hear of Janet's passing. I SO remember how you two invited Ed & I to spend sometime with you in Az. That convinced the life we chose to travel south of the border. Janet taught me to how to make her "famous" scrubbies. I will miss my dear friend. Bless you all, cherish the wonderful memories. Love Mary Todarchuk - Posted by: Mary Todarchuk (A long, long time friend) on: Apr 17, 2016
