So wonderful to be in your home today, George and share stories and hugs and tears and even some hearty laughs. Wonderful too, to see Aleta and share a hug. Many beautiful dancers came as well and it felt good to have one another's company where many of us learned to dance. Karen and I went downstairs to the studio where everything was neat and tidy as always with veils hanging on hooks ready to be swirled. I had never seen Janet's workroom before where she made her costumes (and must have sewn my veil - unbidden). There was a richly textured fabric with embroidery circles within which beads were carefully sewn in a pattern. Beside this was a bra top which appeared to be finished in the same fabric and beads. In the closet were costumes of every color. It seemed as though she had just wandered off to teach a class or go to NIST. Thank you again George for being the Keeper of the Blog for Janet. It has meant so much to me to be included and to feel a part of her life and yours even at this tragic time.

In sympathy and gratitude,
