Side note: I used to work with Janiel at CUC and loved her so much. This women seriously new how to make me laugh. We shared the same mind thinking as far as jokes go. She called me MOI after speaking to a pt at the GYN clinic about how there were other "things" you can do on your honeymoon besides the neno-neno. To this day when I speak with the girls at the clinic they call me MOI!! I don't even know if they know my real name, MOI has just stuck! :) Janiel you are going to be missed very much. I love you dearly!! Thank you for always making me feel pretty and always giving me a good laugh!
