Our thougths and prayers are with you. Betty and Vernon Reynolds I lived in Mexico for only five years but within five minutes of meeting Janet Hendren, I knew I had a friend for life. Funny, smart, competitive, generous, loyal – important qualities that she had beyond measure. She gave of herself through her faith, her compassion, her skills and, most importantly, through her family. In seventh grade Janet and I did a science fair project together (we were always together). It was a model and explanation of the workings of the human heart. Who knew better than she what the heart could do. Lyle and I send our condolences to her devoted Don and to their kids and grandkids.
