She was a grand and fun lady and a consummate neighborhood mom who was always gracious with whatever group of highschoolers showed up for a pool party.
I wish I could be there with you all, I’m so sorry to lose Auntie Jan. She always had a big smooch and a “Hi, Honey!’ for me when I saw her. I cherish the memories I have with her and all of my Summers family. I know that her and Uncle Jim are smiling down on us as we say goodbye.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
To Wendy, Jon and family. I’m so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers
I am so sorry for your loss Wendy! Prayers for you and the family!
