Janis Petta Bender

Mom,

How fast the years do go by, as you once told me. You taught me so much in life but most of all you taught me how to laugh and have fun in spite of what life throws at you.
I will miss our talks and will miss laughing with you. When I was a teenager it was never a drag to hang out with you. My friends called you “the cool mom” and you were. You walked a great balance between being a parent and being my friend. I hope that Anthony and Victoria can say the same thing about...

Janis was always a gracious lady. She welcomed us into the family immediately upon Ambre and John's engagement, of marriage .We will miss her smiles, and laughter and her calls. Holidays will be sadder without Her ! Our prayers are with you,Lyndi and John .We loved her.

May you rest in peace Jan. You were a very special person and will be missed.

John and Ambre

You and I may wonder why God took her home. But she doesn't. She is at this very moment, at peace in the presence of God.

With much love,

Alice Drexel

John and family, I'm very sorry for the loss of your mom. We know she's in a better place now. Cherish the great memories and know that you will meet again one day. Anything I can do, please let me know.

O, God, rest eternal grant to Janice and may your light perpetual shine upon her. May her soul through your mercy rest in peace.

O, Father, we give you heartfelt thanks for the good examples of Janice's children, John and Lyndi, who having finished their course, fulfilled their obligation in love, honor and duty. We ask now they find rest and fulfillment. Refresh their hearts in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

John and Ambre,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you both during this time. I know this has been a long struggle for Janis and if it can be at all comforting it is nice to know that she is with our Lord and Savior now. May your memories of the time she was here on earth be filled with joy and happiness.
