Helen Janes 1935 - 2010

The early years...



With my pal Houdini...


Mom always had a quirky sense of humor, which should be of no surprise to anyone. She once lived on the second floor of a funeral home. I came home from college and stayed up late one night watching the movie Phantasm. It freaked me out a bit, so I slept on the couch. The next night, I got home late, went to my bedroom, and she had placed a poster board tombstone with my name on it at the head of my twin bed and arranged some pillows so it looked like a body under the blanket. Thanks, Mom. I miss you.

I was so sorry to hear about your mom, Joe. She sounds awesome. I'll be thinking of you and your family over the next few days -- especially Opening Night.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Joe. I am thinking about you and your family and sending you all love.

I'll laugh especially hard tonight at the show.
