To: Gene, Mike, Laura and Renee.
My thoughts of childhood happy memories and good times are shared with you all during this past week and holiday season. I am happy Rita is resting peacefully now and I will miss her terribly as I do all of you. A toast to the "Best Times": Backyard summer Bar-b-ques! (I think it was the Fourth of July we would always come for, I remember going to the parade and the fireworks). Christmas Parties with the tree upstairs and one downstairs (there always seemed to be so many people). My grandmother, your Aunt Gert, always loved going to the In-house Craft Shows! I still have two wall deocors Renee made that Grandma bought at a show for Jacqueline. I remember all the window curtains Rita made. It seemed like every time I came over the windows had new curtains.
My Love to all of you and a big kiss to Gene.
Love, your cousin,
Janet
Now and have been here for 22 years and probably forever in New Jersey. P.S. The photo is our last family outing: A rafting trip in the LeHigh Gorge with Uncle Richard (Dan's Brother), Daniel, Dan, Jacqueline, and Me.
