Dearest Janie and Little Jack,
I thought about your mother this week and was planning on writing her a letter, thanking her for allowing me to be a part of your family, and for her example to me. I've tried very hard to be like her with my boys and their friends. She was the sweetest, most wonderful person, treating me like I was a daughter. I remember Janie and I coming home from games or dances, and she always waited up for us and wanted to know all the details. Those conversations meant the world to me. Your family meant the world to me. I will always be grateful for sweet Mrs. LeBus, the Aggie, our precious John Richard and Nancy, coke-bottle glasses Mina, Little Jack who I considered my brother, and Janie, the best friend anyone could ever have. I adored you, Janie, and still do. I love you both and will be thinking of you all week.
