To all the family of my dear friend, Janet Nixon,

We have been friends of Janet & Russell since 1957 when Gus & I were neighbors of theirs at Woodstock Trailer Park In the Tidewater area..Better neighbors & friends, we could never have had! Our children are Gail, Glen & Janet,. We named our youngest, Janet, for our friend Janet Nixon who we liked so much. We went to the beach lots of times & even left the near by beach & got in line for a picnic for the Lost Colony where Janet's mother
worked as a seamstress. Russell, I hope you are well & read this.. Our sincere condolences to all the family. In memory of our dear friend,Janet

Aunt Jan was fun. She was a mess, a good mess, the mischief of Granddaddy Gage powered by the energy of Grandma Florine. She's with them now and with her brother, my Daddy and with her son, Bill and they're all with Jesus. What a family reunion! I'll miss her. Doug, Jackie, Uncle Russ you and the family will be in my constant prayers. I love you all... Tom Williams
