All, I am so late replying to this thread, but want you to know I was able to visit Janis twice while at the hospital--the second time with Nancy Dearman Lee. We are some of the Davis Street kids, who sometimes got together with those OTHER kids on Broad St. Lizzie Mae made the best pies, and Janis and I often hopped in the back of GC's truck and rode to the Gulf Station to select candy. The first visit at the hospital, Janis knew who i was, and I almost had her laughing with all the memories. She was less so a few days later, but Nancy and I did our best. She made the funeral, but I just could not get there in time. Janis was very private and quiet, but I'm glad we kept in touch over the years. I will miss her letters.
