My thoughts and prayers are with Janet's family and friends today. All who are part of ACFW have the same task: sharing Jesus with the world. I thank God for Janet's ministry and for the Savior she now sees face to face. God's peace to all who knew her.

Beloved in life, missed greatly in death. Janet, you were an inspiration and a friend. May your family be comforted by the spirits of those you touched with your gift. May you rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to everyone on Janet's passing into God's presence. I met her two years ago at the Houston ACRW conference and spent a crazy time taking the shuttle to the local Walgreens. With only five minutes to spare we managed to shop and be outside in time for the shuttle to take us back to the hotel. I was so thrilled for her when she sold her novel to Steeple Hill. She's been in my prayers for a long while. My best friend died of the same cancer about two years ago and I know it well.
