Nancy ( Janovicz) MillerMy condolences to the entire family. I remember when you lived a few doors down and my brother Chuck was always over there. You would treat him as one of as your own. Dick was always so nice to me even though I was just the tag along little sister. I can remember vacation bible school at your home and he was always so kind to us. I remember years later when I was working at the hospital I would run in to him from time to time and he always had a kind word.. I also came across some pictures of your family from when you lived in the neighborhood. Margie and Dickie and Chuck were all so young. Again my condolences. God Bless Nancy ( Janovicz) Miller
