I'm sorry for your loss. About 1972 they were putting an addition on the building where your mother worked and my electrical co. was wiring it. I saw your mom most every day and she always was very nice and I remembre her smile.

I was so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. I cleaned for her for many years, and enjoyed our visits together after she retired. My heart goes out to the family. May God give you comfort and peace through this difficult time.

Dear Barb, Karen, and Bucky, My memories of your Mother are of a dear sweet Mom who never once cared when Karen and I played inside or I slept over night. I remember Alma and Jim and when Alma served us breakfast at the dining room table in the morning. I hated moving away from the Barnetts and the Yontzes in 1956. Please accept my sympathy. Love to you all, Jinky Hobin Jockisch
