We can’t remember a trip to Exeter that didn’t include a visit with Aunt Janice and we’ll miss her very much. She was a sweet lady who could always think of something to be grateful for, whatever the circumstances.
We’re sorry we can’t be there with you all but we’ll hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Deb & Shaun
