  FROM GAIL My daughter is very thankful for the outpouring of love and support from everyone.  However she is very overwhelmed with the donations as she has no place to put them and plans for a new living space is still uncertain.  If you feel the need to give, please consider the Go Fund Me page: www.gofundme.com/jansen-family-fire-fund.  Thank you.
