Ron,
I forgot to mention, I'm in Fort Lauderdale, therefore I won't attend Jan's Celebration of Life. My Thoughts and Prayers will be with you and your family.

Dear Ron and Family,
My deepest sympathy on the death of Janet. May your fond memories of Janet provide Comfort today.
Janet was a caring, thoughtful person. Her strong Faith, love of Family and Community will be greatly missed.
I have fond memories of your visits to the Keith Family Farm in Paris, Ohio. If it wasn't for you driving North, I wouldn't know my Cousin Ron and wife Janet.
Later as Ron's Parents weren't comfortable annually driving to NE Ohio, Ron and Janet drove their Buick to see my family and me. I especially loved sharing visits with Janet and you as you chauffeured your Parents to Canton, OH (Pro Football HOF).
I always looked forward to receiving Janet's hand crafted Christmas Card and Christmas Letter. While she mentioned loosing health and mobility, she always was a glass half full counting her many blessings. Unless updating you, your daughters and grandchildren. Then she pushed the needle over to boasting!
Janet will be missed by everyone. Especially by me.
