To my darling Aunt Janet. I wish I had known you before your illness. I wish you could have lived out your dreams. But God had a plan for you, though none of us may ever know what that plan was. I am blessed to have had you in my life. I thank God that your pains and sufferings are no longer. May God keep you in his arms, until we all meet again. Love, your niece Christian, your nephew Noah, and your great-niece Marian

Aunt Henrietta, All my life I have heard you give thanks to God for everything that happens in your life. When Janet was struggling with her health you gave Thanks and always had a smile on your face. You have truly been a great example for me Auntie in how you cared for Janet and gave God glory at all times throughout her illness. I know this is a hard time for you and our entire family, but I thank God that he will comfort all of us through this hard time. I thank God for Janet's life and I thank God for my entire family. I love all you and like my auntie I will lift my hands and give God glory because everything will be alright.

Love you
