Janet, I used to work with you at Harmony Hall. I left there I think it was around 1979. I worked directly with you, Audrey,Vickie, and Frank. I live about 3-1/2 hrs north of Kenosha now. I was saddened when I saw the obit of your mom in the Kenosha News online. I want you to know you and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences.
