Jim, David and Bruce, So sorry to
read of Janna's passing. She was such a great friend to me in our
Jr. High and High School years
there in Highland Park. I talked to
her about 10 months ago but hadn't seen her for years. I know she would have been a wonderful
mother, wife and sister. God bless
you.
