September 20, 1963

60 degrees

Sunshine and wind

Colorful leaves 

Swirling to the ground 

Brother Jeff

At the farm 

Anxiously awaits

The arrival of a baby

His sister

An angel

Janelle 

On the farm

Smells of wet earth

Mud pies, playing house

Giggles and laughter 

Cousins and friends 

Listen 

The wheels of the school bus

Go round and round

Foretelling her destiny

School years

Discovery

Revelations

Playful spirit

Cheerleader of wrestling champions

Kind

Role model

Ms. Congeniality

Self supporting

College student

Waitress

Cute saloon dress

Perfected the art

Of mooning

Janelle met Dale

Heart to heart

Soul to soul

Love of her life

Eternally deep

Teaching

Thirty five years

Waking up to another

New day 

Transforming lives of children

Her students

1989, husband and wife

Side by side

Pride and pleasure

Joy and sweet tears

Created a family

Three daughters are born

Their family stands tall

Love is their strength 

Joy and sorrow embraced

Destinies fulfilled

With loving care

Love for travel

Dale, the girls,

Cousins (one adopted)

Always catching some history

Planner,

Organizer, extraordinaire

Time at the lake

Great family, good friends

Playful and fun

Paddle board bar

Zorbaz

Macho nachos

Yet a retreat for relaxing 

To restore and reflect

Calming blue water

Forever remembered

Dazzling eyes

Glistening in the light

True to her emotions

Time here on earth too short

Memories we shared

Held close in our hearts

Janelle

A spoke in our wheel 

Always an angel
