Josephine, TX Friday, October 24, 2025 Janis, Thank you for being my crazy wild friend, when we were in high school. You made life so fun. Fun memories! And being at your 1st wedding. And I always enjoyed the visits to Winnsboro to visit you. It was so good to reconnect with you a few years back, and learn of your new marriage. You seemed to be very happy. I think of you and smile and laugh at the mischievous things you'd get me to do with you. Adventurous for sure. I love you, Janis! See you again real soon.
