You don't know me but I work for a good friend of yours (Joe Allen). I know your family means a great deal to him and when he told me about your wife's accident my heartfelt sympathy went out to you and your family.

Stan and Janna-Janet was a wonderful friend. I have so many memories of her from the time we became friends in grade school on. She was truly a "forever friend," and a person who wasn't afraid to set a goal and work until she accomplished it. My prayers are with you and your family, as well as the Gabriel's who were like a second family to me.

Stan, my prayers are with you and Baby Janna. Janet will forever remain in our hearts. May the memories sustain you.
It is hard to believe that you, Janet and Janna sat in front of us in church Easter Sunday. That was the last time I saw her.
Her race is over....she finished the Marathon. Her spirit will remain and she will be sadly missed.
I love you both.
