You were taken far too soon. I thought I'd have another lifetime with you, yet. I still can't believe you aren't here. I used to try and imagine my life without nana and pappa...and I'd just cry. I never even gave a thought to my life, on this earth, without you. I thought I'd have another 30 years with you. I never thought you wouldn't see Josh or Cindy get married...or enjoy their kids, in years to come. I will miss you every single day. We will take care of Scott... he loved you so. He will be lost without you. Love you, mom....always and forever and ever

So sorry to learn of your loss. OMG, I used to baby sit for Janet when she was young and her parents and mine were close friends (Kitty and Jerry Smith). My thoughts are with you at this time.
