Dan,

I am so very sorry to hear about Janet's passing. Please accept my condolences - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember Janet bringing over gourmet dinner on fancy plates the first day we moved in next door, going with you both to watch Janet sing the national anthem for the Braves, and coming over to chat over a glass of your homemade wine. She is an inspiration and will be immensely missed. Please know that I am thinking of you.
With love,
Kelly

Bonnie and the Neville family, I am shocked and immensely saddened to hear of Janet's passing. She was special to me, and even though we had lost touch over the years I have thought of her and you often. Having lost George and Janet both already just seems impossible. My prayers and condolences are with you.

God Bless!

Wilton,

Of course I did not know your sister Janet. However, through reading the entries in the guest book and knowing you it is easy to see the Lord gained a great new player for his team in heaven. You and your family have my family's prayers that all of you find courage and peace as well time to rejoice during this time.

As long as there are Howard's in New Kent, your family will always have friends there. God Bless You All. Bradford

Dan, Joy and Don,
I cannot tell you how grieved I am to hear of Janet's death. We shared many fun, thought provoking, and special "girl times" together.

You certainly had a devoted wife and mother.

I will miss her, but know that heaven has another singing angel.

Love to you all.

I am so 'shocked' to hear that Janet is no longer with us. I envisage Janet's dear children, who are the age of mine, mourning the loss of their beloved mom; and her husband Daniel - who must be beside himself, losing his best friend andcompanion. But I think about sweet Janet the 'friend' to so many. She will be missed...but never forgotten.

I had the privilege of working with Janet a couple of years ago. Always smiling, compassionate, and kind, I will miss her dearly. She taught me much in the brief time I knew her but I will never forget her gentle demeanor and soft spoken wisdom. My heart goes out to her family during this time...

God is our shelter, our strength,
ever ready to help in time of trouble,
so we shall not be afraid
when the earth gives way,
when mountains tumble
into the depths of the sea,
and its waters roar and seethe,
the mountains tottering as it heaves.

46:1-3

Daniel and Family....It was such a shock to hear the news. Janet had one of the prettiest singing voices I have ever heard. I sang with her in choir many years ago. We are praying for the entire family with your loss. You know your loss is Heaven's gain. Jackie and Claude
