  • John is the only child of Hanna and Harry.
  • Harry was an only child. Hanna has two older sisters, Hope (the oldest) and Holly.
  • Both Harry and Hanna’s parents lived in good health into their 80s.
  • Jane’s brother, Joe, is married to Jen. They have a son, Les, who is a healthy nine-year-old with myopia (nearsightedness) but no sign of galactosemia.
