I can't hear or see a plane without thinking of you. Your postcard sent just days before still hangs on my refrigerator. You have family with you in heaven and you are only a heartbeat away. I miss you.

I never met Janet. But I felt her through the memories shared by her sister, my loving friend, Linda. May her family now have peace knowing they have finally sent her where she will find comfort, with her parents in heaven.

Nicely said Mike. I miss her and think of her every day. She was a part of every memory of my childhood. Plus the wonderful times we had together as adults.

Janet not many days go by when you are not missed and in the thoughts of your brothers and sisters and all who loved you. You took a piece of all of us that day.
Rest in Peace
