This is a video I made for my mom's sister Janet. They had a very special bond.

You made me cry!! I love this video - it's beautiful! I was just thinking about/talking about your mom today! I always knew you looked a lot like her, but seeing those pictures of her when she was younger emphasizes it even more. She would be so proud of you and the woman you've become. Love you Jen!
