I remember getting in fights. Growing up, because somebody would pick on her if they called her a name, I would have to be the one to go and kind of shove them around when we were kids. And then the funny thing was, when we got older, as we grew up, I am only five foot tall, and she was five foot ten. She ended up being much taller than me. But I was a big sis when we were really young.

I had four kids, and so many would be tight, especially around Christmas time. And, you know, she always made sure my kids had a good Christmas. That was one of her deals. She would bring a whole van full of presents, and that was a good relief to us.

They would spend weeks at her house and they always did fun things. She'd take them one at a time, but everyone got a turn to go and spend a couple of weeks with Aunt Jana and do all of the fun things that Aunt Jana could.

It just happened that her and Chantel, my middle daughter, have been communicating throughout the day on Facebook, which is something they often did.

She was going to lay down for a while and said that she would chat with her later. The next day, she's not online. And then the next day, she's not online. And then the next day, she's not online. And so then she began to try to call her. Didn't get an answer. Didn't get an answer. She then contacts Cherie, the oldest one. And she's telling Cherie, I think something's wrong here.

Doesn't work. What makes you think it's not Jana? She said this was sloppy. Not at all. Not at all like anything Jana would have written or the way she would have written it. She was alarmed immediately.

And now we're up to near two weeks later. My immediate gut response was, this is not good. I just knew this was not good. Of all the crazy things my sister would do and flighty things and harebrained things she might do, just totally dropping off the face of the earth is not one of them.
