Harley,
I am so sad to have learned of Janet's passing. I was at Duke Hospital myself on the date of her service, so I regret not being able to attend.
Words are never enough in times like these; but I wanted to let you know that Janet, you and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Harley and family,
You will have to think back to the time you'll lived in The Pointe neighborhood. We did too and we became quick friends. I had two teenage daughters at that time Stephanie & Jessica. In fact, Stephanie has run into Janet at times last year at Duke where she was also employed. I just heard of Janet's illness from another old neighbor the Clark's this weekend. Words cannot express the lost of a wife, mother, grandmother, and daughter, but I know that Jesus welcomed her upon arrival. So Harley may the comfort and the presence of the Lord comfort you in the days to come. In Christ Love, Starr
