Well hello Mom & Dad; I miss you everyday. I want to THANK you both for raising me with morals, values, compassion & empathy. Molly is 20 years old now but like her mother has autoimmune issues. She is my baby girl forever & I will take care of her for as long as I can. Yes, I worry what will happen when I’m gone but Laurie is going to be her Guardian. This makes me feel so much better as Laurie had 3 girls, one of who also became a nurse. I just want someone who Molly can turn to. We have 4 dogs-Lady went to heaven (as you know) late 2018. We now have 2 dachshunds Wilbur, whose 3, Phineus is 1 year 3 months, Wallace (Chiweenie-1/2 dachshund & 1/2 chihuahua) he is 2 & Leesha a gorgeous mixed Havanese that we rescued from a puppy mill. I’m not working bc of my Crohn’s but after our COVID-19 pandemic subsides-GOD WILLING I plan on doing something. You both are in my thoughts & prayers everyday❤️ Think of you often & MISS YOU VERY MUCH HUGS-Your Sweet Baby Jane - Posted by: Jane Porter (Daughter ) on: Oct 07, 2020
