I recently came across a card from "Janet Holmes Rugs" from when I bought a rug at a crafts fair in Pennsylvania. I was glad to come across it because I wanted to write to Janet and tell her that I so loved her rug, that it has withstood washing in a machine a number of times and that her craftsmanship, attention to quality and her artistic choice of colors makes her rug on of my favorite things.

I also remember enjoying talking to her at the fair. If the Janet Holmes in the obituary is that same person, I extend my condolences to her family and hope that the art of her rugs brings you comfort as you live with them now.
