Not sure what to say?

Rod and family, we are sorry to hear about Janet’s passing. We pray for peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Dear Rod and girls, We send all our love and prayers to each of you during thus time and days to come. I sure loved your mom and have so, so many wonderful memories. I'm sorry to miss tomorrow. Please know we'll be praying for your time.

Janet was such a comforting friend to me. She really was like a second mom to so many, a guide, a best friend, spending hours talking late into the night on youth group trips or on her porch, providing a safe space without judgement to talk and explore life's many ups and downs. She was also so much fun. I don't recall what exactly we laughed at, but I remember being in stitches with her! Rod, Shaina, Autumn, and Bri, thank you for sharing her with me.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We just found out that she had been sick for a while. May she rest in peace.

Janet was a best friend to me. We met while working at The Works Museum in the year 2000. She was never judgmental and always had something good to say about most things. The last time we met, she just wanted to do what we always do together and get back to her gardens. I loved her dearly. I miss her already.

Rod & Family- I am so sorry to hear about Janet’s passing. May God grant you peace.

Rod, so sorry for your loss, she was a nice lady, thought and prayers thru this difficult time. God bless!
