Dad and I wish to express our sympathy upon the death of Mrs. Janet Elzinga. The church sends dad the bulletin each week and we read about it in there and then I was able to pull the obituary up on line. We rejoice in the fact that we know she is with our Lord and Savior.

Rose & George - Bob and I extend our sympathy to you at this time. By all accounts, your mother was a wonderful woman and we're sure you will miss her.

I always enjoyed your mom, Mary! As some of the others have said, she always had a smile. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings, Judy

I agree with Sharon--always gentle and always a smile. Truly she bore alot of fruit of the Spirit and what a godly heritage Janet has left for her family. It was a blessing to care for Janet and see the love of her family.

Oh, so many memories come flooding back of childhood living just across the street. My first image? Janet in her apron with a big smile on her face. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. Did she EVER raise or voice or get annoyed? Always a smile, always gentle. She certainly made her mark on this life raising a wonderful family to carry on what is good in this world. I will think of her as another star in the sky, and remember her kind spirit forever.

Dear Elzinga Family,
We send our deepest and warmest
sympathy on the loss of your loved
one.
We care and share in your every
need. Sincerely,
