I thought I would check in and let you all know how life is getting on.  My sister and family are almost done clearing out my nieces condo.  She and hubby are going to move into it as the house and yard are a bit too much as they have some mild health issues.  The condo wouldn't sell for what my niece payed for it presently but maybe in a few years it will gain value if they decide to sell.  The son and his wife are buying their house which is a good fit.  They have put on good fronts for most, it is still difficult and will be.  They don't have doubts of their faith, but just miss her.

I have gotten some better.  I wonder how long my kidney would have served her and how much more she would have impacted so many others lives. But the one thing I smile about is, that she took a little part of me to heaven.  Thanks Jen, your aunty Janice.
Donated 3/10/11 to my niece at UW Madison, Wi
