Dear Cousin Jan,
Decades of memories come flooding back; Christmases, family gatherings, parties, us cousins sitting on Grandma's glider in the yard after Sunday dinner. Good times. Happy times. It was grand sharing life with you and knowing now that you are at peace. I miss you. You and Shirley are forever young. I hope you are reunited with your mother and father, your sister Barbara and your beloved, Paul. You are forever in my heart.

Though our time together was brief, it was an absolute joy to know and care for Janet. Her humor, wit, and kindness will be deeply missed. I´m holding her family and loved ones in my heart and wishing them comfort and peace.
