My deepest sympathy is conveyed to "Aunt Janet's" family & friends - she was a wonderful, loving, caring person. She gave of herself endlessly. Janet always kept a positive outlook on life, and she shared that, and encouraged it in others. She had a sense of humor that never quit.

Janet was my mother's neighbor. I met her only twice but I sensed that she was a kind woman. My mother only had nice things to say about her.
To her family, please accept my sincerest condolences. May your memories of her comfort you during this sad time.
I believe she made her peace with God. She spoke about it with my mom. That's the most important thing a person could do on this earth -- to make peace with the Maker of the Universe. God bless you.
