A beautiful light has been extinguished here but shines ever so brightly in the heavens. Janet was a joy to your family and will be forever.

I am so very sorry for your family's losses. May you find peace knowing Janet and Bruce are reunited and surely will be with you in the difficult days ahead.

Dear John and Family,
My thoughts of Sister Harr and the time I spent in your home brings such fond memories...what a wonderful lady, what a wonderful family, so full of love and life. I have been richly blessed because of our association and extend my deepest condolences and love to you all at this difficult, yet joyous time.

How I will miss seeing Janet riding right next to John in the truck! It has been a pleasure to be the Harr's neighbors in Cedar Hills. Janet taught me a great lesson on forgiveness and being a peacemaker years ago that I have always appreciated. She set an amazing example as they served their mission in Africa, served in the Correctional facility, and as they loved and served our ward, the neighborhood and their family. She will be greatly missed. What a wonderful legacy she has. Our love to John and all of the Harr family.

What a beautiful lady. I have such good memories being at the Harr house and interacting with Mom Harr while hanging out with Lori. She was always so nice and loving to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Janet will be greatly missed.

Dear John and Family,

I am so sorry about Janet. I met her at a early age and she always made me feel like a part of the family. I was really glad to be able to see her at the family reunion. We will always think of her. She was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met and known. I am so sorry for you loss and the heart ache you feel at this time.

Lots of love

Harr Family,
A smile comes to my face when I think of Janet. I will miss seeing her in the halls at church or around the neighborhood. You could always count on her for a smile and some kind words. I treasure my memories of how supportive she was of a relative stranger when Scott passed away. I know she will be sorely missed by our community.

I'm glad your family has so many good times to recall from your travels and vacations together. This is when you realize how valuable those shared times are. I hope these memories give you some comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love DiAnne Harter

To the family of John and Janet,
You have my sincere sympathy at the passing of your beloved companion and mother. If any comfort can be drawn from her loss it is the knowledge that the separation is momentary. You have my prayers for your sorrow and indeed my knowledge that she will never really be far away.

Dear Lori,

I was shocked to hear yesterday of your mother's passing. I was not aware that her cancer had come back and that she was so near death. I am so sorry for your loss, I know the two of you were so close. It hits home how blessed I am when I realize she was less than a month older than me. I see you in her picture, and know where you get your looks and charm. I'm glad I got to meet her and will remember her as a great lady. Love, Marcia Baker
