So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to the family. Janet was such a sweet and caring person. I love how she would sign everything with “Love and Laughter”. So many fond memories. Rest in peace, my friend.
Rest in Peace Janet. We had some good laughs during our East Kootenay days.
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Janet’s passing. I’m so glad I saw her this summer and shared a few more heart to hearts and laughs … little did I know it would be our last. She was a special, special person who will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with Scott and her family and especially Martin. She was always so proud of her son. This had definitely left a hole in my heart. Be at peace dear friend, I’m sure you and Annie are together now.
Janet. Loved the days when living in Wasa. So much fun. Cranbrook days with the kids searching in the Thrift stores. How happy we were finding great goodies. I still have that basket from a thrift store you and I wanted. I grabbed it first. Always thought of you. Hope one day we would meet up again. Well, this time in Heaven.
Such sad news. I will forever hear her laughter..she was a joy to be around. Rest in peace dear Janet and my prayers of comfort go out to her loves.
We are so deeply saddened to hear of Janet’s passing. She was a wonderful caring person and will be forever missed.
So sad to hear of Janet’s death. Our hearts grieve along with friends and family. There is comfort and hope in what Revelation 21:4 says “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Also John 5:28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth;” What a happy time that will be when death will be replaced with resurrections and Janet will live again. Although these thoughts do not take away the grief at present; may Gods Word be a source of comfort for you and your family.
