You have my sincere condolences for the loss of Janet. This time is most difficult and it´s hard to see beyond the anguish that you all feel. In time I hope that special memories that you shared with her will bring you some peace and comfort. It was easy to see Janet had a heart full of love and joy. She always had a positive attitude. I will always remember her from all the MYF trips and church functions we all participated in together. She will be missed today and always.
