"ill state that this entry is emotional. meant for 2 people. ben, and ashley. im sorry your mom died. i considered her my mom as well. she always took me in wen i needed a bed. so heres a little something so i can remember her by.
i admit, death is one of the hardest situations that i have to deal with in my life. dealing with death is not something which fits very well with my personality, or that i have been prepared to do. it is, however something i have to deal with and learn.
janetta was one of the best friends, or mom i could have ever had in my life. she was there wen i needed a hand. she welcomed me with open arms. i trusted her implicity, with my life and my friends lives.
let me tell you about the jan i knew and loved as viewed thro my eyes and with my heart. she was the biggest 'kid' ive ever known. she had a child-like enthusiasm which was obvious. jan was a women of many passions, she was warm and open to those she loved, i shared many great moments with her. she was an excellent loving mom. brought her kids up perfect, example BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. i love this kid. ive known him since 5th fucking grade and im still friends with him. only friend i will keep forever. goes to show you how awesome of a mom she was.
she had a wonderful way of calmy and patiently guiding me and motivating me to do better. during the often frantic hours of preparation for projects i would literally run in circles finding the information for my presentation or something until i realized that she was standing in themiddle of that circle smiling at me, waiting for me to notice her and then she would calmy suggest to calm the hell down and shed help me. she always had this confidence in her, that rubbed off.
i have frequently heard it said that you can learn a lot about a person by playing golf with them. im not much of a golfer. jan & i drove together. i believe you can learn even more about a person by driving with them 24/7 even if its just to school and back. ive known this family since i was in 5th grade. 9 years almost.
im not sure wat else to say. except the memories shared between this family and i, will always be remembered and will live on in ben, ashley, gabriels, and my heart.
in closing, i would like to pray tribute to jan. we love you. ALWAYS."
