Aww, Janet is so gracious!! Susan, it was wonderful to meet both you and your husband, and of course, my incredible twin Sherri! All of the JAP members that attended were so sweet and kind, it was a phenomenal day! I so enjoyed preparing my cake, talking, laughing and spending time with each of you! Thanks JAP!!

WOW, That had to be A great Memorable time, For Melissa, Sherrie, and all.
I recall just 3 years ago Meeting (2) sisters we never knew we had, One of which carries the same name as I do just a different spelling.
I can only imagine how that must feel.
Its a feeling No one Can explain. . . We have 50 yrs of catching up to do. . .
Comgradulations to all of You.
