• To all members of the Brissolara Farmily:

  Please accept my condolences for you loss of JP's mother and Abigail's mother-in-law. My personal experience with Janet was too brief but always very happy. The Brizxzolara family has been so kind to my Abigail and loved her and encouraged her as though she was their own child. This is due to the great leadership and guidance of a great mother.

  I know she will be greatly missed and suffered much in her life. May the blessings of God be on her and each of you as you learn to live without her daily physical presence. She is with you always.

  Please forgive my lack of attendance, but there is no one to take my place on the farm and I am unable to drive for that long a distance by myself. I am there with my prayers and Abigail will have to stand for us as the Smith/Darnell representative at the funeral.
