What an absolute joy to have Mustang Janet in my life. We were neighbors for four years, I did housework and tree maintenance for 25 and we were friends for 35.

From calling the police during my loud-ass party (Yes dear, always knew it was you) to spending hours gardening together.. You were waiting outside when we brought baby Cyrus home from the hospital. You were not at all thrilled when we moved… as you anticipated new neighbors (but were so pleased when you got to know Diane!)

I only met Eric but loved hearing stories about both of your sons and grandchildren. It was obvious how proud and in love with them you were.

Your tone, diction and turn of phrase, so very distinct. Never quite got my ‘Jan’ impression down. It’s just not fun quoting you without ”your voice”, so I’ll keep trying. And thanks for being amused when I practiced in your presence. Didn’t know if I was gonna get away with that. Ha

“Oh you really think that’s funny Nicole, now don’t you?”

“Nine times out of 10 you don’t hook a clothesline to a fence.” IYKYK

“You might think twice before using Pledge on the stairway. I almost broke my neck.” (I still feel horrible about this one. I was young.)

In the event you run into Christopher Reeves, please try to keep your sh*t together.
