I am so disappointed at missing Janet’s viewing. I wanted so much to pay my last respects. I missed the obit in the paper and hence the viewing. Janet was such a nice person, I always enjoyed visiting Bauer’s while working downtown. Though I don’t get into the store very often, her absence will be terribly missed.
My sincere condolences to the entire family.
