Dear Ed & family,
I am so sorry for your loss and the loss to everyone who was lucky enough to know and love Janet because if you knew her, you surely had to love her. She was a very special person.

I have so many great memories of Janet from the day she walked into the Warminster SurgiCenter 17 years ago to the last time I spoke to her 2 weeks ago. I feel so blessed to have been able to spend those years as one of her many friends.

Janet was one of the best of the best. She always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye.

May you have comfort in the knowledge that she is at peace now and that she has left her mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

She will remain alive in all of our hearts and I will miss my sweet friend.

SAFELY HOME
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illuminated
Every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus; land.
When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

With all of our Love and Prayers!

Dear Ed and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Janet's passing! We know she has received her eternal reward and is with our Lord now--but what a loss for all of us! The world was a better place with her in it. She was a very special person and I will always remember the years we worked together and how much fun she was to be around. I'm glad her suffering is over, but we will all miss her terribly. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Ed, "Little" Janet, Wanda, Elaine & "Little" Ed -

I am so sorry for your loss, I know the hurt you feel right now. But remember her smile and her humor, it will get you through some of the hardest times to come. I will always remember the fun we had as kids and she is a very big part of those memories for me.

Love you all,
"Little" Louise
