Jennifer and Mike, I was so sorry to hear about your mom; I was out of town for several months and was unaable to visit her. What a great person; I remember so many fun times with her...she is in a better place now. May God be with you and your families during this time.

'JT' was a very special lady. She would do anything in her power to help you. I met 'JT' when she started her career at BCBSSWVA/Trigon/Anthem. Through the years we shared many tears and many laughs. I remember the time my oldest son started daycare at Shenandoah Baptist church. Her sister (or sister in-law) was Justin’s teacher. The first day I sat at my desk and cried the entire day. ‘JT’ would call the school every couple of hours to check on Justin. Justin held up much better than I did on his first day. Although she was my boss at the time, she was truly concerned about my well-being. That is the type of person ‘JT’ was. Heaven definitely added a wonderful Angel when ‘JT’ arrived. This world was a much better place because we had ‘JT’ with us. She has gone home to a happier place and until we all met again…………………………………..

David and I were blessed to have known and worked with "JT". She was a beautiful person with a smile that would light up the room. I know we will all be together again and what a glorious day that will be.

"I waited patiently for God to help me; then he listened and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1

God helped "JT" so she is no longer in pain and what a wonderful example and legacy she has left behind for those of us that knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We love you "JT". Keep the candle burning.

Jennifer, Harold and I are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. We didn't know her very well, but you have been at our home many times when you and Melissa were going to high school. We always liked you very much and loved having you at our home. It has been a long time since we have seen you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our lives are never quite the same when we lose our Mothers but GOD will sustain you and help you with this loss. God bless you, Harold and Margie Buchanan

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. I am sure she will be missed but just knowing that one day you will all be together again is a blessing. Michael if you need anything please let me know.
May your pain and hurt be short lived and beautiful memories be left.

While "JT" left us for a better place, she left a void for many of us who had the privilege to know and work with her. I shall miss her twinkling eyes, her special smile and her hugs at company functions. (I'll have to get an extra hug from her special side kick, the "cookie lady.") Not only was she a special lady, but an outstanding employee that every manager wanted. I was one of the lucky ones to have her on my team early in her career at Blue Cross. "JT" will be missed, but I know the Lord will have a special assignment for her and her capable hands.

To all the family
There are not words to tell you how sad I am to learn of Janet's passing. When Leroy and I were home in March and April of 2009 Janet was the last Stanley I saw before we left. She gave me a Conner cookbook,pictures of Jennifer's baby,and pictures of uncle Edward and Uncle Dennis. I will treasure these forever.

Jennifer and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss but what a beautiful day for Janet when she entered the Golden Gates of Heaven. No more pain and suffering. I had the privilege of getting to know her at Stritesky's. When she spoke of her family you could hear her Love for each. She loved each of you so much. Find comfort in the wonderful memories and strength in your faith. My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family during this difficult time and the days ahead. God bless each of you.

We both had the opportunity to work with or for Janet during the past 20 years at Blue Cross & Blue Shield. It was a great pleasure to know, laugh and work with such a giving lady. One of our favorite things about her was her laugh. We will miss her and please accept our greatest sympathies.
