Dear Lori, Joe, and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and offer my deepest condolences. I met your mom last summer at Hunting Hills during the swim season and then reacquainted during the BC Champs at the CAC last February. I always had such great conversations with her and thought that she was a great lady. She talked about your boys and she was truly a proud grandma. I'm sad that I won't see her at the swim meets and have our nice conversations. You were truly blessed to have her in your lives.

That night in the RV was such fun and her sense of humor was a joy! May God bless you and keep during this time of loss and in the future. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all today and in the days ahead!!

Dear Jim, Karen and Lori,

I was so saddened by the news of Janie. I remember the fun times we had when you all would visit us in West Virginia during our childhood years. I pray that each of you will be comforted in knowing that Janie is with our Lord and free of pain and illness.
With much love,

I worked with Janie when she was associated with Boone & Co. Realtors. We had so much fun when we got together. She was a wonderful, caring, loving and special person. God be with you during these days and the days ahead.

I knew Janie in our hometown of Smithers, WV. Her mother was my Sunday School teacher in my childhood years. I located a picture of her mother 2-3 years ago, probably taken in the 1930's and mailed it to Janie. Received a sweet note back from her. My father was Janie's high school Biology teacher and she was in the same class as my sister-in-law. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Janie was a great lady.
