Lorraine and Russell,

My deepest sympathies to you on Janet's passing. I was blessed to know Janet as one of her nurses during her time at Golden Visions, and will never forget her constant smile, her sunny attitude, and her friendliness to everyone she met. She was truly a beautiful soul, loved by everyone who was fortunate enough to walk with her for a short while on her journey through this world. Blessings to the two of you for the wonderful, loving care you gave her; she could not have had better, supportive, loving friends. May God's blessings be with you. My prayers and thoughts come to you during these days of loss.
