I really loved my Aunt Janet. As a young boy we always went to see her when we were in Hornell. After I was married Debbie and I went to see her and when our son Daniel was born Aunt Janet was the one we wanted him to meet. Because we lived on the west coast we were not able to see her very often but with Debbie going back every year she always set aside time to visit. She would often take her mother with her. When her mom passed in July we were back East for that and We were very fortunate to be able to see her. we will all miss her the last of our aunts and uncles.
