I can't believe you have been gone for 10 years. I miss you everyday. We shared a lot of horse adventures together. Someday I will see you again.

We were dismayed to hear of Janet's passing. She was always a pleasure to volunteer with at our Arabian shows. She will be sorely missed by all. We send our condolences to Ron and all of the Beehler family.

Janet and I had been friends for more than thirty years. Whenever I needed a friend she was always there. We shared many horse adventures together and I will miss her greatly. I pray for comfort for Ron and the family in these days ahead of them. She is probably playing Sudoka
Until we meet again.

My sympathy and prayers go out to the Beehler family. It was a pleasure teaching with Jan at Dinwiddie County High School. She often had interesting and intelligent opinions on local matters and world concerns. She loved her family and her horses. I will miss her.

So sorry to learn of Janet's passing. Enjoyed being in Ruritan with her, but after our club folded hadn't seen her in several years. May God bless and comfort her family & students in their sorrow. Janet seemed to really enjoy life and her students so I am certain she will be missed by many. Thoughts, prayers, and sympathy to all.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Those who die God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest sympathy.
